Sensory Stimulation For Special Education 3rd-5th Graders

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Coltrain's classroom raised $379

My Project

This project is all about Sensory Stimulation for my students in our special education classroom. Textures and manipulation of sensory toys bring them comfort and joy.

Four out of Five of my kids are wheelchair-bound, coming out of their chairs for their PT goals or for stretching out.

They are also constantly sensory-seeking through movements and textures. The Flash Furniture Dillion Furry Refillable Bean Bag Chair provides access to escape the Wheelchair comfortably for the kids, while at the same time, the material allows sensory stimulation in its texture.

The Easy Joy Soft Fluffy Rug provides comfort, warmth, and interaction for the children through its colors and texture. Multiple students like rubbing soft textured items. This rug while sitting on it, will give them sensory stimulation and comfort.

With the Gel-Bead Emotion Friends, the children will learn emotional regulation and fidget comfortably while learning. The manipulation of the beads will provide comfort and attention to the lesson.

Sensory mats by ODOXIA will provide the texture stimulation the children crave while sitting on the floor, at their desks, or at their wheelchairs so that they may pay attention to our lessons.

Thank you for considering a donation for our special education classroom, The children would enjoy the donations. I would greatly appreciate getting this project funded.
