Our students need hands-on sensory equipment to engage with the world and promote interaction alongside their typically developing peers. Our program has no funds available for equipment. Many of our students struggle with connecting to both their environment as well as to each other. We need supplies to create a variety of hands-on engaging, sensory activities to help develop these skills. The sand and water toys, including the Magnetic Fishing set, Waterway Pipe Builders, Sift and Find Alphabet and Number shells will provide opportunities, with adult and peer support, to encourage exploration. The large outdoor building materials will provide opportunities for our students to practice manipulating objects with their hands and opportunities for building cooperative play. The Sand and Water storage Center and Equipment Cart are necessary to transport and store toys as all our materials need to be brought inside at the end of each day. We are in desperate need of materials for our young learners!
