My Project

My students are autistic and range in age from five to ten years old. They receive special instruction in small classrooms (6:1:1), along with related services throughout the school day, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, and counseling. My students present with delays in strength, coordination, motor planning, etc. These delays can affect their performance with academic tasks (using classroom tools and materials), activities of daily living (dressing, feeding, hygiene), and participation in physical education and play activities.

Many of my students have difficulty attending for extended periods of time, and demonstrate sensory-seeking behaviors.

Sensory processing problems are common among children with autism and these items will supplement the resources available in the classroom, in therapy, and when transitioning throughout the day. This project will help meet my students' sensory needs so they will have more success within the school environment.

I have requested a trampoline, pod swing, therapy balls, sensory toys, and other resources to meet my students' sensory needs.
