My Students
Our self-contained Autism Classroom is awesome! I have 7 homeroom students as well as 14 other students who will rotate into my classroom for Math classes These students are all on the Autism Spectrum. My students range from non-verbal to functionally verbal and are at all academic levels. After being full to partially virtual students last year, they are so excited to get into our room and make it their own! They all love to learn, especially Science and Math!
Our school is a mixture of a general education program and an autism program which allows our students the opportunity to be integrated into general education situations as often as possible.
We are a low-income school, servicing a majority of free and reduced-price lunch students.
My Project
I am requesting materials to create a sensory and calm down area in my self-contained, autism classroom. My class is made up of high school students on varying places on the autism spectrum.
My high schoolers need a safe space that they can help regulate their own emotions.
They will use bean bags, sensory items and fidget toys to help them find ways to calm themselves, take time to relax when needed and prepare themselves for classroom, academic lessons. When students are able to find ways to regulate their own emotions, they are better able to learn, become engaged and enjoy school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
