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

Everything on this project is to help me create a welcoming, calm environment in the therapy room for my students. Some of my students have sensory processing deficits, difficulty with attention to task, and experience difficulty regulating emotions.

The goal of this project is to provide a multi-sensory experience for my students in order to facilitate attention, promote a safe environment and improve ability to regulate their nervous systems.

I hope that these items will provide visual, auditory, and olfactory input to assist with the students' ability to refocus and learn.

Please consider helping this project and in turn, help my students reach their academic goals!
