Mental Health Tool Kits

Help me give my students access to sensory tools so that they can better focus.

My Project

I believe that sensory items can significantly enhance student learning by providing multi-sensory engagement that caters to diverse learning styles. For high school students, sensory resources such as textured objects, and calming fidget tools, can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and foster a more inclusive classroom environment. These tools encourage students to self-regulate, stay attentive during lessons, and feel more connected to their learning experience, ultimately empowering them to achieve their full potential. By helping to fund this project, you will be helping my students succeed in and out of the classroom.
