Sensory Tools

Funded Dec 25, 2023

Thank you so much for your generous donations! We were so excited to receive and explore these amazing classroom resources.

In just a few days alone the chewy tubes have been a success at allowing my students to get the oral input they need in an appropriate way, so they keep themselves and friends around them safe. When students needed a moment in the calm down corner because the of the classroom environment, the weighted blanket has come in handy to give their body a sensation that helps to decrease anxiety.

I have plans to use the Thera putty to help build hand strength and fine motor muscles so that my students can improve life skills of buttoning, zippering feeding one self as well as improve ability to grip and hold writing materials. Weighted vest and body sock will become part of any student who needs help to regulate their body in the class. Working with the occupational therapist in our school will help to make sure our class uses these tools appropiately.

These tools are long lasting and can not only help this class but all my future classes here to come.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Maugeri
