Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Many of the students at my school have difficulty regulating their own behaviors. These children struggle to participate in school activities due to displaying sensory seeking behaviors which include invading personal space, difficulty remaining seated, and bumping into walls and peer/adults. These behaviors often result in them getting in trouble or impact their ability to stay on task or pay attention. Our school is beginning to construct a sensory room that will provide students with the sensory stimulations they need to help them get through the school day. They are kids eager to learn who struggle to participate due to the sensory linked behaviors mentioned above.

My Project

Many of the students in my school have difficulty regulating themselves. Many of these children have diagnoses of autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder and they often display disruptive behaviors which result with the children either getting into conflicts with each other or reprimanded by the teacher. These behaviors include difficulty remaining seated and paying attention, invading other students personal space, bumping into other walls and children/adults, and others. Unfortunately due to space limitations our students are not able to participate in a proper recess and gym class. Without these outlets our children do not get the opportunities to seek out movements than desire and it causing them to display the disruptive behaviors mentioned above.

Fortunately this year our school allocated a space to set up a sensory room to provide our students with an opportunity to seek out the movements they desire in an effort to promote appropriate classroom participation.

However due to budget restriction we are having difficulty obtaining the equipment we need to properly set up the room. With your generous donation we can set up the room our children need that will help promote our students participation and improve their education.
