My Project

Children with special needs such as Autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities typically benefit from additional sensory input to help regulate, modulate and stimulate the body.

There are various types of sensory input that can calm, wake up, and excite the body.

I am asking for sensory modalities such as water beads, kinetic sand, a scooter board, and fidget tools to help regulate my student within our therapy sessions. These materials will help to engage my students so that they can be active participants with their peers throughout the school day.
