Sensory Friendly Classroom

Help me give my students an organized sensory friendly classroom to help regulate and motivate students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hussain's classroom raised $716

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is to create a sensory friendly Special Education Math classroom. The project includes things like weighted lap pads, giant squishes, and fidgets to help regulate students when they are feeling dysregulated.

These regulatory classroom supplies will help students that struggle with emotional regulation to stay focused on their learning.

There also snacks to reward students and keep them fueled as they are doing the hard work of learning grade level standards while staying regulated and fueled.

Your generous donation will make the classroom a more inclusive space for my students.
