My Project

I am an occupational therapist and I work in a school for students with special needs. Many of our students are autistic and require opportunities for movement and sensory breaks throughout the day. Our therapy space needs to update our tunnels, as they are worn and breaking. These tunnels used everyday by not only the students in my school, but also students in a special after school and Saturday program. Tunnels are a great sensory tool as crawling though them provides calming deep pressure input.. It also helps strengthen their hands and arms which helps with holding pencils and using scissors. Please help us give our students these opportunities!
