My Project

Hi! I'm the art teacher at our high school and I want to help our Exceptional Children's classroom get Loop earplugs for class. The students have a wide range of disabilities such as Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Visual Impairments, Epilepsy, Gastrointestinal Disease, and Sensory Processing Disorder.

The Loop earbuds will diffuse the loud screams and screeches that happen from self-stimulatory behavior, which is one way individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder regulate their sensory input and cope with the overwhelming sensory environment.

Our EC classroom has such a positive and upbeat environment, our students are the happiest students on campus! Loop earbuds will help to reduce the stress that comes from being in an intense class with high needs for both the students and the staff. Currently our class has 7 students and 4 staff.

It would be awesome if you could help us ensure everyone is able to focus on learning in the classroom by diffusing the loud sounds made in the EC classroom.
