Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I teach 6 students with autism in an elementary school in a high-needs community. The students are all five years old, and this is their first year in school.

In the past 5 months, I have noticed that my students experience many sensory issues. They need different sensory activities throughout the school day. Day to day activities that seemingly take little effort to you and me can become incredibly overwhelming for my students. Students with autism struggle with sensory regulation, which interferes with their ability to concentrate, interact, and learn.

Sensory activities will help the kids calm down and focus. If they are not overwhelmed by sensory issues, they can focus on classroom activities and learning tasks. I am asking for different resources that will provide sensory input to the students, allowing them to learn. For example, sand toys, putty, pressure tank-tops, and vibrating toys will provide touch input that calms students, allows them to sit still for longer periods of time, and focus on other tasks.

Sensory input resources can be very expensive, and are not provided for in the school budget. Your help will ensure that students with autism will receive the sensory regulation they require in order to learn in an optimal environment.
