Sensory Learning Center for Super Students!

Help me give my students a sensory learning center with Haley's Joy therapeutic swing and a toddler trampoline that offers a safe space for my young preschoolers with special needs to play, learn, and help regulate their emotions.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The Haley Joy's Swing, Toddler Trampoline, and Lakeshore Comfy Rectangular Classroom Carpets will help me to create a Sensory Room that offers a therapeutic space for my super young preschoolers with autism and other special needs to play, learn, and help regulate their emotions. The calm sensory learning center environment will allow my students to reduce anxiety at school. Furthermore, a well-designed sensory learning center will encourage children to learn through play while strengthening their fine and gross motor skills. Additionally, with your donation, our sensory learning center can encourage my non-verbal students to communicate their preferences in the classroom environment. In turn, your help can provide a personalized learning environment that meets specific health and wellness needs and preferences for my students in an inviting and fun way.
