My Project

These items will engage and help the development of Autistic Spectrum Disorder students. This population needs tons of tactile tools to help them learn to speak and satisfy their sensory needs in the classroom. These items will help give the support needed for the curriculum. Sensory materials help calm the students during times of crisis and frustration. Since most the students are nonverbal, they need tons of materials to help engage them and help them learn. Our students learn differently then most, but they do learn and can engage in activities they engage.
