My Project

Chair pockets will help students stay organized and reduce distractions caused by lost or cluttered materials. The listening station will support students with autism, dyslexia, and speech impairments by strengthening auditory processing, comprehension, and language skills. Sensory foam, chair bands, and the moving jellyfish will provide calming sensory input that helps students regulate emotions and maintain focus. The sensory tent will offer a safe space for students to decompress and self-regulate. Touch-and-match math tools will support hands-on learning and concept mastery.

The goal of this project is to create a sensory-supportive learning environment that promotes emotional regulation, focus, and access to instruction for students with special needs.

By providing appropriate sensory tools, students will develop self-regulation skills, reduce behavioral disruptions, and increase engagement and academic participation.

My students have diverse learning needs, including intellectual disabilities, autism, speech impairments, emotional disturbance, dyslexia, and oppositional defiant disorder. They benefit from structured routines, hands-on learning, and sensory supports that help them regulate emotions, communicate effectively, and access instruction in meaningful ways.
