Help me give my students with special needs a trampoline, therapy ball, and weighted lap pad so they can get the sensory input they need to be successful in the school environment!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
This school year I have the privilege of working with special needs students ranging in age from kindergarten to 5th grade. Diagnosis of the students include ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorders, Developmental Delays, and Cognitive Delays as well as other conditions. I would love to create a safe space for my students to be able to learn how to regulate their sensory needs but I need your help! My room currently lacks sensory equipment and materials that my students would benefit from.
Treatment sessions that incorporate vestibular movement and sensory processing tools that excite and calm the body, promote greater participation and engagement.
The sensory equipment that I am asking for (rainbow mat, peanut ball and trampoline) provides input to various sensory systems. These items will improve sensory regulation skills. This equipment will help to foster self-regulation for students to better understand their sensory needs and allow for progress across all academic areas.
