Sensory and Hands-on Learning for Autism Classroom

Help me give my students learning and sensory items to make their classroom a calm, active, and individualized environment to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Peoples's classroom raised $998

My Project

Our autistic students are bright, curious, and creative. Hands-on activities and visuals are critical for their learning. Sensory activities help students to learn through play. Sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which leads to our students' ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.

Our students have unique needs that require individualized learning tools.

Cardstock, paper, lamination, velcro, file folders, and zipper pouches will be used to make individualized, hands-on materials for our students. Playdoh, sensory wall fabric, sensory mats, liquid tiles, sensory lights, and the floor pillow will be used to create our new sensory center. The fine motor activities will aid in increasing our students' motor skills. All of these materials will help our autistic students develop academic and language skills through hands-on learning as well as aid with sensory and motor needs.
