Celebrating 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
I am an occupational therapist working in an inner city school district with a large population of pre-school and kindergarten students on the Autism Spectrum. My students are high need and constantly seeking sensory experiences which currently interferes with their learning.
My students are wonderful and they are a joy to work with but they struggle with attention and focus.
My goal is to provide my students with access to a variety of sensory choices to help improve their attention and regulation so they can better engage in learning both in the classroom and therapy setting.
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly enjoyed and appreciated by my students!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
