My Project

This project hopes to fund some sensory objects for use with the students in our self-contained program. Our students work very well on academic tasks when their bodies are regulated and comforted. Sometimes, they need more support than others to regulate their bodies.

These objects can help us focus during work time, prevent unsafe behaviors during playtime, and relax us during nap time!

All parts of our day include contending with various stimuli while stretching our abilities toward new skills. These items will help fill the gap between disregulation and stellar academic endurance for our learners with the most challenges. Your support for this project will benefit early intervention steps for our scholars.
