My Project

Please consider donating towards my project that will provide sensory and comfort items to my students who have a variety of needs. Many of my students have experienced traumatic situations prior to arriving at the treatment facility that the students receive education and clinical treatment at. Sensory items help the students during class to regulate and regain focus. Many of my students also have sensory needs due to their individual educational needs as well.

Each item that I am requesting has been an item that I have used before in my classroom and need more of due to the increasing student population of the facility that I teach at.

Your donation would be greatly appreciated and well used in my classroom. Thank you in advance for your consideration and generous donation!
