My Project

The goal of this project is to provide learners with special needs with an ABA research-approved environment that is HRE happy, relaxed, and engaging.

This project will help students with disabilities to cope with their stress, and anxiety and minimize behaviors in the classroom.

The sensory toys such as fidget toys, eFiDGET, cuddle ball knot pillow, and chew necklaces will provide sensory input to learners with autism, which is important to their everyday lives. Pitcher will be used to make sure learners are hydrated during the school day. The desktop drawers will be used to organize student assignments for the day. Tabletop games like mini football, battleship marble, puck air hockey, and bowling games will be used to reinforce positive behavior. Lastly, the iPad will be used in many ways to play calm music and access engaging apps like boom cards and special education curriculum teachtown.

By providing these materials, we are helping our learners with their everyday struggles such as stress, and anxiety, and reinforcing positive behavior in the classroom. Mahalo for your support!
