My Project
These resources will be used to increased inclusivity for our students with disabilities who have sensory needs, and self regulation needs. Teachers will have the resources to make their classrooms more inclusive for these students, and provide them with the resources to help them access the curriculum and be successful in school.
Calm down corners will be created with these resources to teach students self-regulation and to meet their sensory needs.
Students will then be able to participate more fully in the classroom and be academically successful. Thank you all!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
