Fidgets for Learning

Help me give my students access to sensory and fidget tools that are necessary to be successful in school

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Yakavonis's classroom raised $275

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach a kindergarten and first-grade special education classroom for students with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. My students require additional support to meet their sensory needs, stay regulated, and access the curriculum. Help give my students access to fidget and sensory tools that are necessary for them to meet their sensory needs during the school day.

These sensory tools and fidget supplies will ensure my students are performing their best academically, socially emotionally, and behaviorally.

With your support, my class will continue to make great gains.
