Help me give my students the tools needed to support their sensory needs.

My Project

By providing sensory materials like the weighted blanket, fidget tools, and calming tent, we can help autistic students manage sensory sensitivities and stay focused in class. Organizational tools, such as visual schedules, timers, and labeled materials, will create a structured, predictable environment, reducing anxiety and supporting task completion. These resources will empower students to better regulate their emotions, improve attention, and foster independence, leading to a more inclusive and effective learning experience. These materials will also enhance communication for non-verbal or minimally verbal students, providing them with the tools to express their needs and engage with peers. With your support, we can create a more supportive and personalized classroom environment that helps all students reach their full potential.
