My Project
Many of our students are in the autism spectrum disorder. It is hard for them to focus, make eye contact and communicate They have a lot of sensory issues that make it difficult to complete a given task. Paying attention is always a challenge for our students. They can be easily distracted by stimulants ranging from the texture of their clothing to bright lights to sounds and more. They may also find it difficult to focus on information that is outside their range of interest.
My students show many "stimming" behaviors like rocking, fidgeting, twirling or rubbing their hands especially during stressful times.
Sensory chairs can help my students who constantly fidget when seated in the classroom. The fidget toys can provide a more appropriate replacement behavior that is less distracting or less stigmatizing. The weighted equipment can improve process sensory information. The massager can help in organizing and alerting students with a low arousal level.
Using these sensory items will allow my students to increase their concentration and improve their life at school and in social situation.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
