My Project

Please help me provide my students with the sensory materials of weighted vest, weighted blankets, squeeze and pull sensory toys to improve overall regulation throughout the academic school day. My students require various strategies, learning methods, and learning options to meet each of their needs throughout the school day within the classroom and occupational therapy room. The weighted vest and weighted blankets will assist in helping the student remain calm, secure, and increase their focus. The vest and blankets can be worn throughout the day while ambulating and or while seated. A weighted vest can assist the student while walking and transitioning while continuing to feel calm and secure as they transition between classes as well as activities.
