A Place to Find Peace

Help me give my students a place to find peace in their day. The chairs, rug, and tiles offer another sensory need that will be able to be met within the classroom.

My Project

I work with students with special needs. These children struggle to self regulate their emotions and often are in need of sensory input. I would like to have a place in the classroom where my students can sit quietly and find the peace that they are looking for. This would allow them to learn and grow socially. Often these students are seeking a type of sensory input that is not readily available in a regular classroom. These seats, tiles, and rug would add to the opportunity to meet these sensory needs.

By donating to our project you will be helping these students to find success within the classroom.

They will be able to have their needs met which will allow for success in their education.
