My Project

I have students in my class with varying sensory needs. They try very hard to do their best, but often get distracted or have trouble concentrating because these needs are not met. These students can become overwhelmed, which leads to distracting behaviors or frustration. This can create larger problems for the entire class.

For this project, I have a variety of tools that should help these students stay calm, and focused, and perform to their potential.

They include a weighted vest, wobble cushions, lap blankets, etc. With your help, I can help my students learn to regulate their own sensory needs and succeed in school!
