Help me give my students sensory-friendly classroom materials that will allow my students to thrive!

My Project

As an educator in a special education classroom, I strive to create an environment that meets the unique needs of each student. Many of my students have sensory processing challenges, which can make it difficult for them to focus, engage, or remain calm throughout the school day. To provide the best support for their learning and emotional well-being, I’m asking for your help to create a sensory-friendly classroom that will allow my students to thrive.

Sensory supports, like noise-reducing headphones, fidget tools, textured materials, and calming items, can make a world of difference.

These items help students manage sensory overload, reduce anxiety, and stay focused during lessons. By providing access to these tools, I can ensure that each child has the resources they need to succeed, no matter their individual challenges.
