Fidgeting Our Way to Success

Help me give my students sensory activities to keep them focused during class. My students with Autism would greatly benefit from sensory and fidget toys and I would love to provide them the opportunity to stay on task!

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.

My Project

My classroom is made up of student with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities that are currently learning on an Alternate Curriculum. They love tactile learning opportunities that allow them to explore the lessons in multiple ways. Their specials needs mean that in my classroom, I need to provide lots of break time and sensory time for each child.

These sensory and fidget toys will make a huge impact for my students.

By providing them with these materials, my students will have an easier time managing their behaviors and staying focused throughout the day. We would love to be able to provide these amazing gadgets to truly meet the needs of our wonderful learners!
