Help Build an Occupational Therapist's Treasure Chest

Help me give my students sensory regulation! As the school's occupational therapist I would love to have more items on reserve, such as noise cancelling headphones and sensory items, for when students need them! Items will help our PK room and 2 MSD rooms.

My Project

The goal of this project is to have more sensory materials on reserve for when students need them. Ranging from activities such as fire drills to changing routines during the day, students have a variety of sensory needs at our school. Help them stay regulated and calm, with the items I am requesting, so they can have a great day at school.

The students I serve all have needs that are met through IEP's!

My students are all truly special in their own ways and would love to have more materials to stay engaged during the school day.
