Sensory Items and Functional Tasks Help Our Students Regulate Themselves!

Please help me give my students functional activities and sensory items to help them develop independent motor skills and allow them to regulate themselves throughout the day.

My Project

Sensory items, like the Super Z Motion Bubbler and the Sensory Mats, will help my students engage with the world around them and regulate their sensory systems. They will also have access to these sensory items to help calm them when they feel overwhelmed.

Fine motor manipulatives, such as the Jumbo lacing beads, the Bean Bags, and the Nuts and Bolts, help my students work on pre-academic skills such as color sorting, following directions, and matching letters.

The motor manipulatives will lay a foundation for pre-academic and pre-vocational skills that will build my students' confidence and independence for future activities.

Every experience I can give my students increases their opportunities to gain and maintain necessary skills.
