Help me give my students the comfortable learning environment that they need. Fidget toys give us something to do with our hands while we are trying to learn and light filters help to improve our lighting.

My Students
My classroom has eight unique learners. Each one struggles to learn academic content in their own way. In addition to academic challenges many of them have challenging behaviors that prevent them from being included in the regular classroom.
At school their goal is to learn functional communication skills as well as life skills that will help them in the community.
We feel triumphant in the simple moments when we learn to share with others, when we say our first word, and when we learn to control our temper.
The school classroom has the tendency for sensory overload which can easily cause tantrums and aggression in the classroom. From the harsh florescent lights in the classroom, to the distracting hum, to the overhead speaker, these students are affected by all the different sensory input in the classroom. There are many ways that we learn to use our senses to calm our physical bodies as well as our minds while we are at school.
My Project
Students with disabilities are often distracted by things in their environment. Light filters that cover harsh florescent lights create a calm, and comfy environment for students to learn and study. Light Filters will help the students to enjoy being in their learning environment.
Fidgeting with our hands can be a distraction to everyone around us.
By having appropriate toys to fidget with we will be able to increase our focus on what we should be learning. We want to be able to focus on what we should be learning in the classroom.
