My Project

Help a bilingual School Psychologist teach crucial skills individually and in small groups to over 100 Special Education students this year!

Using sensory tools and games to help a student with special needs learn and practice calming strategies can make all of the difference in a child's life since students often struggle to participate in academics until they are fully socially and emotionally regulated.

These products will assist with the implementation of social-emotional goals for students with disabilities including, specific learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, visual impairments, health impairments, and multiple impairments.

I work at three different school sites; the students I work with are often the most challenging students in our public school settings. Creating individual connections with a loving adult who takes the time to meet their individual needs can often make all of the difference.

The students I work with often have difficulties defining, identifying, and regulating their emotions. Once they can learn to regulate their emotions, they can often interact more successfully with their peers and focus on the academic components within a classroom environment. With the sensory products purchased, I hope to use some of the products within the general classroom environment to help students find productive ways to funnel their energy as well as others to build relationships and to teach mini-lessons regarding emotional regulation.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to create positive, lasting relationships with students by teaching them to be more successful productive citizens able to access academics through social-emotional regulation.
