My students often need a "sensory break" from the regular routine of the school day. Having the resources on hand such an indoor swing, weighted lap blanket or fidgets is just the tool my students need to help them succeed through the school day. After students have had a sensory break they are able to return to their regular school schedule and be successful in the classroom. Sensory tools may seem like a "toy" to some, but to students who have special needs, it is essential in having a successful day at school. Please consider supporting my students with these needs.
