My Project

Aloha,

I teach students with high behavior and sensory needs; my students are in need of these items (lights, pads, seating) to help support them in their general education classroom and when they are in my room.

Working with students with communication and behavioral needs they require many outputs for sensory help. This project will allow me to provide this through hands-on learning opportunities.

The seating options and lights allow them to have a sensory outlet within the classroom while doing their work.

Thank you for viewing my project.

With kindness.

Kattie Thammas
