Sensory Needs for Autism Class

Help me give my students sensory toys to fill their sensory needs all day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martinovich's classroom raised $266

This project is fully funded

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

I have an autism focused classroom and we have built in sensory breaks throughout our day. Over the years our sensory toys have popped or broken.

Please help me give my students new sensory toys for them to use during their sensory breaks.

This will help them regulate emotions and helps with transitions throughout the day.

Sensory breaks are such an important part of the day in an autism focused classroom. They need this time to take a break and restart themselves. This helps them focus and get through the day.
