Sensory Support for Some Super Special Students!

Help me give my students calming lights to support their special sensory needs!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. S's classroom raised $396

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a great group of kids. They are 9th graders and many have autism and other developmental disabilities or special learning needs. They need more than a teacher who tells them what to do; they need an adult who will listen to them and work with them on their individual needs.

In the words of Temple Grandin, "Kids have to be exposed to different things to develop.

A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it."

My classroom assistant and I create a positive and interactive learning environment where our kids know that they are welcome, loved, appreciated, are safe, and can succeed.

My Project

I work with students who have autism and other sensory disorders. Often their sensory needs come first before learning can happen.

We are teaching our students to use sensory items to help improve focus, regulate challenging behavior, and create a sense of well-being and peace in my classroom.

My students process sensory information differently than most neurotypical people. This might mean they need more sensory input to be alert and able to work in school, or they might need less sensory input to keep them calm and focused. These lights will impact the well-being of my students for years to come. Thank you for all your help!
