My Project

At EES, we're dedicated to supporting students with diverse needs, including those with ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety. We aim to create an inclusive environment that caters to various learning styles and sensory requirements.

This project involves acquiring a Therapist-Designed Sensory Swing and educational tools such as the Kaplan Early Learning Cubby Bench Cushion and Lakeshore Build-A-Word!

Magnet Board, hand2mind Reading Rods Prefixes & Suffixes, and Lakeshore Teaching Vocabulary Skills Activity Center. These tools are crucial in providing an inclusive and supportive educational environment.

Our goal is to provide sensory support through the acquisition of Therapist-Designed Sensory Swings. Enhance literacy skills and vocabulary development through educational tools. Cater to diverse learning needs by incorporating sensory and educational resources.

Impact on students includes increased comfort and sensory regulation for students with ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety. Improved literacy and language skills through engaging educational tools. Promotion of an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Upon funding, purchases will be made promptly. The sensory swing will be installed in a designated area, and educational tools will be integrated into classroom activities.

We believe in accommodating diverse learning needs and fostering a supportive atmosphere for all students, regardless of their challenges.

Your support will impact our students' comfort, learning, and inclusivity. Thank you for considering our project.
