The world is loud and bright. The world is smelly and close. All of these environmental factors can cause distraction and discomfort. All of these distractions can cause students to wander, to not pay attention, to lose focus. What if some of that stimuli could be removed?
b-Calm GP for Classrooms
The b-Calm GP system is our base model which includes AudioSedation that acts as an “acoustic shield”, allowing the individual to have control of the sound environment, and helping reduce off task behaviors and irritability. Individuals will love how disturbing noises are blocked and replaced with familiar and soothing sounds from nature and the world around them. Noise canceling headphones and earbuds are included.
Easy implementation using preloaded mp3 player or CD

“I’ve used the b-Calm units with many students in my Special Education classroom with great results. I was impressed how it helped the various students focus, stay on-task and relax. I even have parents requesting it for their homes. It’s been a wonderful tool in my bag of strategies.”

WELCOME, AUDIO SEDATION
Every bCalm system is preloaded with specially designed AudioSedation tracks. It is the special acoustic formulation of these tracks that work to calm and protect the mental state of the user.
Two things are at work in AudioSedation.
Expertly crafted acoustic masking signals work to make typically distracting noises unapparent to the user.
Special live nature recordings work to relax and ‘reboot’ the mind, cleaning out the mental confusion and promoting concentration.
Like typical white noise or other noise cancellation tools, Audio Sedation is an assistive technology optimized for any environment. AudioSedation is a highly customizable technique that can also be tailored for a variety of uses by contacting our bCalm engineers.
