My Project

Working with students who have autism means that the overhead lights are not always the best choice.

Having light ropes and other light sources in the classroom helps keep the class calming and inviting for the students.

When students feel calm, they are more likely to be successful in their education. Having the lights around the room will allow the overhead lights to remain off and the rope lights and other sources to take over, calming the room for the students. When students are calm, they tend to be more successful.
