My Project

Students in our classroom need specialized items to learn. The sensory seating options, as well as therapeutic band will allow students to remain regulated during work. Additionally, classroom lights, sensory light tubes and bean bag chairs help students remain calm during earned trade in time.

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder need items schools can't financially provide.

Organizational items such as rolling carts, and paper mailboxes will allow items to be immediately accessible for staff. As well as provide students with a clear guidelines on where items can be turned in or located.

Lastly, snacks and food items are offered as incentive for completing work. As well as back up items for students who have none. Thank you for helping our classroom and our students receive the support they need.
