My Project

My goal with this project is to give students with social/emotional, mental health and developmental disabilities the tools they need to become more independent with regulating their emotions. Sensory tools, such as fidgets, bean bags, and stress balls help students stay regulated in the classroom. Noise cancelling headphones will allow my students to eat lunch with their peers in the cafeteria and attend assemblies! A laminator will allow me to make durable visuals for students who struggle with communication skills. Our kids are amazing! Please help me support our classroom!
