My Project

My special education students need a sensory wall to support sensory processing, emotional regulation, and classroom engagement. Many of my students benefit from structured sensory input to help them stay calm and focused throughout the school day. This sensory wall will provide a safe, consistent space where students can interact with calming textures and tools designed to meet their individual needs. It will support behavior goals, increase independence, and help students return to learning more successfully after feeling overwhelmed. This project will create a supportive environment where every student can experience growth and success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
