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

I work with students who have learning disabilities and sensory needs. Adding to those challenges is limited access to resources, due to low income. It can be difficult to learn when they have sensory needs and are hungry. I often buy snacks and sensory toys for them, but it can get very expensive.

The special seats, sensory toys, and snacks will help me create a sensory-friendly, safe space where my students will thrive and grow.

The storage cabinet will be perfect for storing the snacks, sensory toys, and other materials that I use in my therapy sessions.
