Headphones and Sensory Toys for Science Students with Autism

Help me give my students the tools for them to succeed in science class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lodi's classroom raised $270

This project is fully funded

My Project

These supplies will help my students be successful in our science classroom. I teach students with autism. The headphones will help them concentrate while they are using the computers and help them tune out distractions. The fidgets will help them keep their focus to what they are learning. And the markers will help them make their projects beautiful.

My students work extremely hard in our science classroom and they take their learning very seriously.

Since my students have autism they sometimes struggle to focus for an entire class period. These supplies will help alleviate these issues.

Providing them with fidgets will provide them with tools to help them stay on task for the duration of the period. Also, providing them with them with headphones will help them concentrate while on the computer.
