My Project

In my Kindergarten through 3rd grade Specific Learning Disability class, we go through sensory items at a very quick rate. While my class is labeled as SLD, the majority of my students are on the Autism Spectrum. The sensory items will help my students not only regulate their input needs but also provide preferred items for earned breaks after completing classwork.

These items are necessary in our program as a way to keep our students off of the tablets and chrome books, building their language and peer connections.

With your help, my students will be able to stay off of the tablets, focus on their classwork and engage with their peers!
