Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These calming sensory room resources will provide my students the opportunity to regulate their sensory needs and refocus their attention to their classwork.

This calming sensory room and its resources will provide my students the opportunity to regulate their sensory needs and refocus their attention to their classwork.

The sensory sock, stand and toys will give the students compression for those that need that sensory input. The various types of lights will help calm and relax the students.

These resources will improve their sensory room experience and also help with challenging behaviors.
