Help Them Reach Their Calm

Help me give my students the cuddly puppy weighted lap pad and weighted shoulder wrap.

My Project

My students are willing to try to do all the work asked of them, but sometimes they cannot concentrate. The weighted cuddly puppy lap dog and weighted shoulder wrap could help them feel secure. The other items involve sensory toys that would give my students something to hold on to or manipulate as they are completing assignments and tasks.

I have high-functioning students that can read, do math and switch classrooms in the self-contained classroom area.

However, even though they are always willing to do the work, sometimes they need help staying calm.
