My Project

The materials I've ordered will provide stimulating experiences for my special needs students who struggle with simple everyday tasks that most typical children find simple to complete. These students need lots of hands-on manipulatives, and emotional support fidgets to help them cope with their daily sensory stimulants.

The goal of this project is to provide cognitive stimulation and to foster an environment that promotes teamwork, self-confidence, and independence.

My students are special because each one has different strengths and enjoy engaging in different activities. Their faces light up when theyt complete daily tasks.
