Help Develop the Curiosity of the Most Challenged Learners

Help me give my students a way to interact with their lessons and their environment through sensory learning. We need resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, a sensory mat, felt squares, construction paper, and more.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Clements's classroom raised $466

My Students

Teaching children with special needs is truly amazing! I have the privilege of teaching children with profound learning disabilities from kindergarten to 6th grade. I go to my class every day looking forward to seeing their smiles and helping them achieve their goals.

My Project

These items you are about to help me purchase will change and open up a child's world. It will help me to create sensory activities for the most challenged learners to interact with their lessons. Students with severe/profound multiple (e.g., intellectual, motor, or sensory-motor) disabilities are frequently restricted to situations of inactivity and dependence. These items will inspire them to independently explore and experience lessons by using all their senses.

It has been nearly impossible to find already made sensory activities that are targeted to my students' needs.

I have chosen items that are versatile and are able to be modified to fit each student's individual needs for years to come. You are enabling me to create a pathway to learning success! Thank you in advance.
