My Students
A world were they feel nervous and scared. Lots of children are scared or nervous. Some of my students get nervous around loud noises or act out because they can't communicate. I am trying to help them deal with their anxiety.
My students are physically challenged and developmentally delayed.
Some have trouble talking because they do not have the vocal cord strength or anxiety prevents them from talking like a mainstream student does. I try to use different modalities to help the students deal with their anxiety so they do not act out.
My Project
The pressure jacket is something that is very helpful to a child with anxiety issues. The pressure helps them feel safe. The jacket is something that can be used at high stress times and for students who have trouble with transitions. I am also requesting multi-sensory toys(sensory and puffer balls). These object can help students with ADHD and anxiety issues. The jacket and toys can help a child keep calm in a world that is stressful for them.
The pressure jacket and sensory toys will make a difference in my special students lives.
It will help them more easily participate in a world that scares them. It will allow them to feel safe in a world that causes them anxiety.
