I work at a high school with students labeled as emotionally disturbed as well as those on the Autism spectrum. It is one of the most stressful and exhausting, yet rewarding jobs that I think a person can have. I know it is for me at least. My students require a vast amount of time and attention, yet they show appreciation, loyalty, and growth on a consistent basis because we are one of the few genuinely positive relationships that they have.
My Project
I have several behavior students (several on the Autism spectrum) that stim vocally...and loudly. We often go outside to let them get out their sensory build up, but sometimes that just doesn't happen due to weather or other students needing to be in the classroom. Acoustic panels would ensure we keep our kids safe while not disturbing the academic environment around us. A place to let out steam on a punching bag and a calming bubble light tube will go a long way for behavior management when outside the classroom. These items will make a huge difference for my students!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
