My Project

Every day we work to create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment. It is crucial that we prioritize the use of sensory tools and therapy resources to improve our students' focus and overall well-being.

Mental health and support are crucial in an academic setting.

The therapy items and sensory supports requested will help to foster a positive and successful working environment to accommodate students' various needs. Students need to feel seen and understood. By developing a classroom and school setting that supports all students individually, the students are eager to take on their day, knowing that there are tools in place to help them feel comfortable and ready to learn.

Thank you for working with me to enhance the educational experience for our students. They work so hard each and every day and with your help, we can brighten their days with the materials that they need to be their best.
