Help me give my students the sensory items they need to learn. My students have high sensory needs that need to be met before they can start fully engaging in learning. Fidget bands allow students who need to move to be able to do so in their chair while still learning. Chewy necklaces help students with oral sensory needs who would normally chew on pencils chew on something safe. The ear muffs allow some of my students to attend music class. Without these they have an auditory overload and can get upset and may not be able to participate. These items will allow my students to participate and be successful in the school environment. Please help me help help meet my student's needs. Thank you!
