My Project

We are working on using a fun multi-sensory approach to improving fine motor skills and calming experiences using slime and other sensory tools with my students. These are the skills necessary for my students to help release tension, feed themselves, change their clothing, self-care, and learn how to write.

My students all have multiple challenges including Autism and Learning Disabilities.

But I do not want these things to hold them back. While they struggle with focus, attention and learning, I work hard to make everything we do fun and engaging. Play is the work of children and through play, my students can learn anything.

I am asking for materials to make slime and other multi sensory tools which will help my students grow and strengthen their hands.
