My Project

I am requesting sensory tools for my students. Sensory vests and sensory lap blankets will allow my students to have the need met of not being able to sit still. Some students need the constant touch of a human, and this helps cure that need. Sensory stripes give students the ability to be able to focus while sitting at their desk. This allows them to have a quiet sensory tool at their desk. Other sensory toys will allow them to use when they are upset and need to calm down. Dictionaries will enable students to learn how to look up unfamiliar words.
