This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Our primary goal in this project is to provide students with consistent access to opportunities for gross motor movement and sensory input. The climbing items give students opportunities to move their bodies, practice balance and climbing skills, and problem solve. The giant cube gives students a chance to have the sensory input of a squeeze, or to climb inside to hide out.
We have also requested a simple tent that will allow students who may be overstimulated an opportunity to have a quiet retreat.
Whether someone is neurodivergent or not, we all have ways of regulating when we get overstimulated. Maybe we twirl our hair, bite our nails, sway back and forth. This can be more difficult for neurodivergent students. These tools will allow them the chance to regulate within the safe space of their classroom.
It will also help their teachers, as it gives them a space to move their bodies and focus their energy even on days or times when going outside isn't an option. Our students are incredible because despite these challenges, they are some of the most kind, loving, and positive people we know. They work hard to learn these skills, and we want to give them all the tools they need to be their best selves!
