My Project

Hello! I am seeking donations to help equip our occupational therapy room with essential supplies and equipment. Sensory gross motor areas and Snoezelen Multi-Sensory Environment Rooms are vital in a school setting for occupational therapy, providing safe, controlled environments where students can explore and regulate their sensory experiences.

For example, during a sensory integration lesson, students might use our trampoline and balance beams to enhance their gross motor skills while engaging in playful activities.

This not only helps them improve coordination and strength but also allows them to practice taking turns and following directions, fostering social skills.

Additionally, students can benefit from the calming effects of a Snoezelen environment, where they can explore different sensory stimuli, such as soft lights and soothing sounds. This can be particularly beneficial for students with sensory processing challenges, helping them learn self-regulation strategies to manage anxiety and stress.

The goal is to enable students to achieve specific learning outcomes, such as improving their fine motor skills through interactive activities like using therapy putty or engaging with textured materials. By providing these resources, we are equipping our students with the tools they need to develop independence, confidence, and success in the classroom and beyond. Your generosity will directly support their growth, ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Every donation, big or small, makes a lasting difference!
