Celebrating 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
We are a Title I school (which means we serve a high percentage of low-income families) located in New York City. We have a high percentage of students with special needs who would benefit from a sensory room.
The benefits of a sensory room are numerous.
For students with special needs, it can provide a safe and calming environment where they can explore and learn how to regulate their own sensory input. This can then lead to better concentration, improved behavior, and increased self-awareness. It can also be a therapeutic space for our occupational therapist to work with students, helping to improve coordination, balance, and gross motor skills.
The sensory room will include a variety of equipment and materials to provide students with a range of sensory experiences. This may include items such as swings, weighted blankets, balance boards, sensory balls, tactile surfaces, and calming music. The room will also be designed to accommodate students with physical disabilities, ensuring that all students are able to access the equipment and materials provided.
We are currently fundraising to make the sensory room a reality and would greatly appreciate any support that can be given to our school. We firmly believe it will be a valuable resource for our students and help to ensure their success both in and out of the classroom. Thank you for considering our cause.
