My Project

All of the students in my classroom have various learning needs. Most are non-verbal and would greatly benefit from the flexible seating and sensory items. In order the get students to attend and regularly participate in their education, these sensory items would help foster their ability to attend to learning. This will provide them with the optimal learning ability to help regulate their sensory needs. We are excited to use these donated items on a daily basis and help incorporate them into our curriculum. Any support is welcomed. Thanks for everything!
