Many of my students have autism and have difficulties with sensory processing and fine motor skills. These materials will give them the opportunity to come in contact with a variety of textures and activities in a controlled and fun way. I hope the sand, beads, and play dough will lead them to be able to handle the multitude of textures they will encounter when working on hands-on science and art activities this school year. Their fine motor skills will also be improved by utilizing items such as the pencil grips and play dough. The flexible seating items will allow them the opportunity to be in the right activity/comfort level to learn throughout the school day.
