My Project

I would like to provide my students with sensory tanks to help them focus and stay on task.

The sensory tanks are valuable tools that help students with autism calm themselves and help them remain on task and focused by watching the bubbles and sensory tanks.

The sensory tanks will help students not only in school but in the community by helping them remain calm, focused, and on task.

Students with autism have many sensory needs and require supports and strategies to help them calm and remain focused. I would like to provide them with sensory tanks so that they can become excited about their learning and remain focused and calm. Thank you so much for all your help in supporting our project.
