Sensory Motor Approach to Gain Functionality

Help me give my students the sensory motor equipment to gain gross motor skills and the body awareness to function more independently in their school environment!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Christine's classroom raised $748

This project is fully funded

My Project

The equipment and materials requested will be used with the Special Needs population to help gain strength, body awareness and the balance required for function within the school environment. We provided a Sensory Gross Motor Group to facilitate these skills and encourage age appropriate peer interaction, therefore specific seating options are required to promote waiting and encourage proper postural alignment for these students.

By donating to our project, you will not only help these children gain the strength and balance needed for school, you will ultimately help to increase their independence and safety within their school and home environment as well as amongst peers!

Our goal is always to help these children gain the sensory and gross motor skills needed to function with the most ease and independence within their classrooms as well as when navigating their school/playground environment and or when engaging with peers.
