My Project
The Calm Strips will be for every student in the school; we practice our coping skills and self-regulation on a daily basis. These tools will allow us to have more time before responding to stressful stimuli.
Many of our students are also on the autism spectrum and have specific sensory needs; calm strips would allow us to self-soothe and be comfortable as we read and learn.
Sometimes we aren't very quiet or still. Some of our students struggle with mental illness and are working to use their coping skills, being able to move while they learn is helpful and allows us to quiet our minds and bodies.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
