My Project

As a speech therapist working with students with autism, I strive to create an environment where every child feels supported, engaged, and motivated to participate in their learning. My students are unique learners who require sensory stimulation to help them focus and engage during therapy sessions. Sensory toys are a vital part of this process, as they not only provide comfort but also enhance concentration, communication, and interaction during speech therapy activities.

This project will provide a variety of sensory toys that are specifically designed to support my students’ individual needs.

These items are essential tools to help students self-regulate and remain focused throughout sessions. These toys can also be used to encourage social interaction, improve fine motor skills, and promote language development in a fun, hands-on way.

By incorporating sensory toys into our speech therapy sessions, I can create a welcoming, stimulating, and supportive space where my students are excited to engage in their therapy. Your generous donation will help provide the tools necessary for these students to thrive and make meaningful progress in their communication skills. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their learning journey.
