My Project

My students are part of a program for sessional am/pm PreK3 Austin ISD. This program gives children from all cultures, areas, abilities, and incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district. When our students join our class community, it is often the start of their scholastic journey and with that, learning in all areas such as self-regulation and social-emotional learning. Oftentimes for some of our young learners, this is the entry point to early intervention. That means we work with a variety of children including those with special education needs. These can be a combination of diagnosed, suspected or monitoring and waiting for special ed evaluation.

For many children, their needs can often be met and supported through balanced and positive sensory exposure in the form of a variety of tactile tools.

Our community has a range of abilities and communication styles. The use of sensory friendly tools; weighted lap toys, breathing ball for self regulation, sensory body sock and fluorescent light coverings will lend to a more calming and positive learning conducive environment for all, allowing for a greater opportunity for students to explore and develop early self-regulation skills

Thank you kindly for all your help and support!
