Sensory Tools for Special Friends

Funded Sep 13, 2021

It has been wonderful having enough sensory and calming tools at my finger tips to generously give to teachers for their calming spots in the classrooms. We have worked so hard to create a space in all of our classrooms that is inviting to students but also helps give them the tools they need to help manage a big feeling, take a break from something bothering them, or to put something in their hands as a way to help them process through a difficult talk with an adult. I have been able to utilize the noise cancelling headphones and weighted lap pad for a 1st grade student with Autism. This has helped her by giving her the sensory input she needs to keep a calm body; therefore, helping her learn in the classroom. I am so appreciative of your generosity and kindness!”

With gratitude,
