My Project

My students need to learn the skills to self-regulate in order to be able to focus and fully participate in the academic environment. They are making great progress and are using the strategies that I’ve taught them, but their learning could be further enriched by various sensory tools. I have a vision for creating a space that is safe, calming, and rewarding for my students. However, this vision includes resources that might be expensive (and not provided by the school district). These materials will foster their skills in calming down and organizing themselves so that they can learn and are motivated to come to class and do their best.
