My Project

My students have learning and emotional disabilities that require multiple breaks throughout the school day with fun, interactive and educational toys and games.

Toys and games that provide sensory stimulation and fun will give my students the breaks they need while working toward their educational goals.

Matching, sorting, problem solving and puzzles are just what my students need to be engaged as well as make academic gains. In addition, many of my students have sensory needs and benefit from the use of body socks, vibrating pillows and noise canceling headphones.

Please help me create a classroom where my students' educational and sensory needs are met so that they can all reach their full potential.
