My Project

These therapy supports and sensory tools will aid me in helping students to regulate their sensory needs, as well as express themselves so that they feel seen and heard.

Every student has a voice and matters, and I want them to feel supported throughout their daily lives.

Through creating a classroom that is best equipped for my students and their individual needs, we can all reach success!

Thank you for supporting me in creating a positive educational experience for all of my students. They deserve to have all of their needs met and be able to express themselves to work towards achieving their goals.
