Sensory Exploration for Kindergarten

Help me give my students toys for sensory exploration and social skills development.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Antoinette & Ms. Melissa's classroom raised $207

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach a group of five students who are full of energy, creativity and fun. All of my students are diagnosed on the autism spectrum and due to their disabilities, they have difficulties with communication, daily life skills, and social interactions. In our class, we focus on helping them build these skills and become more engaged in the world around them which they are so eager to explore and understand.

Myself, a speech therapist and my classroom team of two paraprofessionals work with each student using individualized programs to help them reach and exceed their goals.

My students have restricted interests and are learning to play appropriately with toys. We are hoping that these new materials will help them expand their interests, play skills and social skills.
