My Project

Children learn through exploration and play. These sensory materials and toys have been selected keeping in mind my students learning needs and interest level.

My students are 3-5 year olds and have communication and learning challenges due to autism.

They need an engaging environment to capture their attention and interest.

My hope is that while engaging in sensory exploratory play and different cause and effect activities they will build new connections and improve their engagement with the world around them.

By donating to this project you will not only help to improve their engagement but also improve academic achievement and level of functioning.
