My Project

These items will help our students calm through out the day and deescalate

Having weighted blankets helps ground our student's to items that they are sitting, standing on, or laying on, weighted items gives them comfort for their sensory needs.

These items such as fidgets gives our student's a way to stem and learn through using fidgets in our classroom. Student's with special needs and autism need items to manipulate throughout the day to meet their sensory needs. These items fill that void for them. Sensory bins gives our student's a way to explore areas of the world in one bin.
