My Project

My children are a group of amazing kindergarten students. They are little, they are excited, and eager to soak up all the learning and knowledge possible.

At this age, sensory integration can be a real challenge for many children, making it harder for them to learn as we ask them to sit and focus for hours on end.

These materials will make it easier for me to support kids with more sensory challenges as well as ADD by offering tools that are calming and offer sensory input in a non-distracting way.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
