Help Students With Autism In School and In The Community

Help me give my students scents to help them focus and remain calm and focused.

My Project

I would like to provide my students with a rug, chairs, and calming scents and activities to help them remain calm and focused.

These Glade scents will help the students remain calm and focused on their lessons, the rug will provide a place to sit and learn in a comfortable way.

The scents are used with students with autism to help with their sensory needs and to provide them with a calm environment. The Glade sprayer and scents will provide the students with a tool to help them remain focused and on task. The chairs will be used to provide students with a comfortable space to do their work. The rug will provide a comfortable place to sit and learn.

These activities will be used for many years and will help students learn reading, writing, math skills, social skills, and daily living skills. I would like to provide my students with a sensory-filled calm environment.
