My Project

The goal of this project is to help children with autism develop skills that will help them be independent, social, and included in their community. I am asking for a variety of fidgets, sensory toys, puzzles and other resources for my students to use during stations and independent time.

The purpose of this project is to help my students with autism learn using sensory toys to stimulate their senses through tactile, visual, and auditory experiences, to help to promote brain development, cognitive skills, fine motor skills, and overall learning by encouraging exploration and engagement with their environment through touch, sight, and sound.

This project will be very beneficial for my students who struggle daily with sensory processing challenges and developmental delays.
