My Project
In our classroom, we believe that every student deserves the best environment to thrive academically and emotionally. In our special education contained classroom, we want to create an inclusive space where all students can succeed. These adaptive and sensory tools will significantly enhance our learning space and help our students to be more included in our school.
How these tools will make a difference:
Sensory tools help students manage distractions and stay engaged, while adaptive equipment ensures all students can access and participate in learning activities effectively.
Emotional and Physical Regulation: Sensory tools provide outlets for stress and anxiety, and adaptive equipment supports physical comfort, helping students to self-regulate and stay comfortable.
Enhanced Learning Environment: These tools foster an inclusive space that accommodates diverse needs, promoting a supportive and productive classroom for every student.
With your generous support, we aim to purchase a variety of sensory and adaptive tools that cater to different needs and preferences. This investment will not only benefit individual students, but also enrich the overall learning experience for everyone.
Thank you for considering our project. Your contribution will help create a more focused, comfortable, and inclusive environment where every student can reach their full potential.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
