My Project

As an occupational therapist, I support students with disabilities such as autism and ADHD who often have a difficult time staying calm and focused at school. My students love to visit our sensory room and benefit from using our swing and other sensory tools to help them meet their sensory needs. After they visit our sensory room they are calmer, more regulated, and prepared for learning.

My students benefit from a calming visual atmosphere, which includes less fluorescent lighting, less visual clutter, and calming light displays.

Here's how the supplies I've requested would be used:

The Room Divider Panels would allow me to divide the room into smaller spaces, decreasing visual clutter for students using different stations and helping kids stay more calm and focused. The Room Divider Panels would also allow more kids to use the space at the same time and still receive a calming benefit.

The fluorescent light covers would decrease the amount of fluorescent light kids are exposed to. Many of our students are sensitive to fluorescent lighting and these have been effective when used in classrooms.

The inflatable lounger would provide a gentle calming squeeze for our students who benefit from this sensory input.

Finally, the galaxy projector would provide a calming visual display for our kids to look at.
