My Project
I teach autistic students in an 8:1:2 classroom setting in the Bronx. My goal for this project is to enhance their learning experience by adding a new cozy area. Many of my students struggle with self-regulation.
This new area would help my students find a way to identify their feelings and learn self-soothing techniques.
The new arch would be where they could go and have a quiet moment, a space for relaxation, and an area to practice coping strategies and reduce anxiety and stress levels. This new space will help reduce meltdowns and improve their learning.
More than half of 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
