My Project

Hello and thank you for your consideration! The items on my requested list are a variety of materials that would contribute to a sensory regulation space in my Autism Focused Special Education classroom. My students are TK/Kinder age and are leaning how to be in school and to regulate their feeling and sensory needs in a fast paced environment. My goal is to create a space within the classroom where students can learn how to identify their needs/feelings and utilize these materials in a safe, regulating manner. My students are working incredibly hard each day to learn and grow, and I strive to both support them and set them up for success. Thank you again, my kiddos and I appreciate you endlessly.
