My Project

I am a teacher of students with autism who are amazing! My students are 5-8 years old. The students have unique needs and struggle daily with significant communication and learning needs. They work every day on their life skills, daily living skills, and communication. A few of the students in my classroom are English language learners and come from low-income households. My students enjoy hands-on learning, interactive activities, and sensory play. Most of my students receive an alternative curriculum to accommodate their educational needs. Our class has unique needs, and we often require a lot of visuals. I believe providing my students with a variety of materials and opportunities that support their various abilities and learning styles will enable them to generalize skills, engage socially, and continue to blossom as learners.

Each student has varying sensory needs and requires different sources of sensory stimulation to help them fully attend and actively participate in the curriculum.

The sensory items will help my students to be able to regulate their behaviors and emotions.

I hope you will consider donating to these students so that they can have the resources that will help them succeed.
