This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am an occupational therapist at our school. This school houses 4 self-contained classrooms for autistic learners. My students have sensory processing needs and struggle with loud noises. Being in an echoey bathroom with a loud flushing toilet can be overwhelming for many students. Also, loud noises in the classroom can be very overwhelming.
I recently was approved for a Donors Choose project and received acoustic panels to hang in the bathrooms in these classrooms.
However, the panels did not come with tape. In order to purchase this tape out of pocket, it will be quite expensive. Additionally, while we have some noise-cancelling headphones in classrooms, we never seem to have enough to meet our student needs. Please help us by providing these resources so that our students can be better regulated at school.
