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
Our school is a dynamic and diverse learning environment where students with varying sensory needs come together to learn and grow. However, traditional classroom settings can sometimes be overwhelming or under-stimulating for students with sensory processing differences, affecting their ability to focus and fully participate in lessons. To address this, we're seeking funding to provide a range of sensory supports that cater to the unique needs of every student. These supports include items such as sensory fidget tools, noise-canceling headphones, weighted lap pads, and flexible seating options.
The goal is to create an inclusive environment where every student feels comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn.
By incorporating these sensory tools into our daily routines, we can help students manage their sensory input, reduce anxiety, and increase focus. This not only benefits students with specific sensory needs but also contributes to a more focused and calm classroom environment for everyone. Your support will help us ensure that all students, regardless of their sensory preferences, have the resources they need to succeed academically and socially, creating a more inclusive and supportive learning experience for all.
This library of tools will be available to all teachers on our campus to accommodate any student's sensory needs.
Half of students from low‑income households
