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 work with special needs students of many abilities. In particular they are challenged by staying engaged in their lessons. Sensory toys help students gain input that allows them to stay calm when being asked to sit. The cognitive level of my students requires simple toys that can give sensory input in a variety of ways.
With the sensory path throughout their environment, students that need a calming break can move independently through the path and then return to their academics.
Additionally, these toys will help my students be able to independently engage with materials that will give sensory input while developing fine motor skills. Finally, with the soft toys and books they will be able to maintain their engagement with academic materials because of the input being provided without leaving their chairs.
I have students that have already demonstrated that these tools can enrich their school experience and I would be excited to give more students this experience.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
