One of the most valuable part of learning is engaging students in sensory play. We need the Sensory Gel Maze and Jelly Beadz because sensory play provides students with fun ways to strengthen the small muscles in their hands and wrists. Fine motor practice gets them ready to use their hands for other specific tasks like eating with utensils, writing, cutting, dressing, and using a computer. We need the Tangle Jr. Original Fidget Toy, Super Z Outlet Liquid Motion Bubbler for Sensory Play, Fidget Toy, Children Activity, Desk Top, Assorted Colors, Sanho Yopo Dynamic Movement Sensory Sox, and the Rhode Island Novelty Puffer Balls because sensory toys are toys that provide the particular sensory input that many children with autism crave. Whether it is visual or tactile, the toys have the power to capture our kids' attention, making the right sensory toy a powerful reinforcer (reward). Some sensory toys are also excellent fidget toys and can improve concentration and focus in children with ADHD and others who need to keep their hands busy to listen and attend. We need the 5lb Weighted Blanket for Autism & Anxiety so that the weighted blanket can provide pressure and sensory input for individuals with autism and other disorders. The pressure of the blanket provides input to the brain and releases a hormone called serotonin which is influential on mood (as well as appetite, sleep, memory and learning). Draping a weighted blanket across the lap or shoulders of a student with autism helps him or her to feel more secure and stay calm throughout the day. We need storage boxes because there is never enough space to store material in a SLC classroom. New storage boxes will be used to store our new sensory materials.
