My Project

The therapy items and sensory materials such, as conversation cards and social emotional board games, will help to create an emotionally safe environment and promote social and emotional competency. Through use of sensory tools and therapy resources we can improve our students' focus and overall well-being.

Help me create a nurturing and inclusive environment that will support students’ mental health and learning.

By developing a classroom and school setting that supports all students individually, we can help build strong relationships and create an environment where students feel safe.

Thank you for showing an interest in my students and wanting to improve their educational experience.
