Help me give my students with autism sensory based materials to enhance their learning experiences.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Levy's classroom raised $173

My Project
My students are highly motivated by sensory play. I've seen the power of experiential learning in my classroom as my students have built core memories with their classmates, where they have engaged with each other in multi-sensory learning. Materials like water beads will help students navigate new vocabulary, math, science and civics skills. Thera-putty will help students who have difficulty with pencil gripping. Sensory toys will add as reinforces for tasks done in class. Students will be encouraged to make healthy choices with plush fruit that they will see each day.
More than a third of 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
