My Project

The students in our pod are some of the most awesome students in the whole school! They have different abilities than their general education peers. Our students have special needs that sometimes require support with sensory tools to help them stay regulated and calm at school.

Sensory overload is a very real thing for students with needs and they often need support in the way of sensory tools, fidgets, weighted items, and things that they can feel in order to regulate their emotions!

We would greatly appreciate any support you can give!
