My Project
Imagine being at a train station, a train pulls in and the breaks squeak from the time the train pulls in until it stops. What would you do? Maybe cover your ears, your body language may change and your toes may even curl. The sound stops and you can move on with your day. Now take a kid with sensory processing who cannot just walk away. There anxiety may increase, become distressed or exhibit general agitation and may not get on the train. This is only for noises. Think about the person who has sensory overload in more than one sense at a time. This is how your donations can help. Help our students achieve growth. The students are on a functional curriculum and being able to embed sensory activities into the program will not only support the students with their senses but provide learning opportunities to replace other behaviors. These items will allow students to regulate their body and mind, helping them to thrive within their environment.
The donations that you contribute will help our students immensely, as well as help the staff in being proactive and assist with sensory issues.
Helping with fine motor skills, enhancing communication, help improving focus and even being able to decrease anxiety are ways in which these donations can help. Weighted blankets, fidgets, alternative seating and other sensory based activities can also assist with sensory deprivation. Our job is to make sure the students can adapt to the train ride and not be in fear of their environment. Our job is to help these students with sensory issues adapt to the real world and be as successful as possible. Once again thank you for your contributions, this will help the students in ways you cannot imagine.
More than half of students from low‑income households
