My Project
I am a Neurodivergent Occupational Therapist and I work with Autistic, ADHDers, and other Nuerodivergent students in a NYC Public Middle School in Brooklyn. We continue to need sensory supports to help provide a supportive and sensory-friendly space. We have so many more students this year, and we don't have enough materials and tools to support all of their sensory needs.
Middle school is already a super hard time for so many students as they adapt to changes in both school and their bodies and emotions!
Self regulation and sensory tools can help provide tools and supports for students to begin to learn how to regulate their sensory systems throughout the school day.
Weighted blankets can help provide calming input to help with focus and regulation in the classroom, whilst bouncy bands on chairs can aid as a fidget.
Quiet fidgets can help with calming and regulation in a discrete way for students.
By having sensory supports readily available in the classrooms we can help support them with developing self-regulation skills. These tools don't just benefit our neurodivergent students but all students in the classroom.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
