My Project

Most of my students have sensory needs. Many of them need some special adaptations to help them learn. Often times I purchase my own supplies but this year I am running low already! Please help... Wiggle cushions can help a student sit and learn while wiggling a little, weighted lap pads can give the comfort of a hug while seated and working, noise-canceling headphones help a student to screen out distractions, and fidgets can keep the hands busy while learning. We are smart students, eager to learn-we just need a little help.
