My Project
This project is to support many of my students who have significant sensory seeking needs. As an occupational therapist, working on supporting my students sensory regulation journey is important. The pop up black out tent is a very beneficial and can allow my students to enter into a silent and calm space. There are some fidget and weighted animals requested that can also support my students. Many of my students do not often have the language to express their sensory needs, but providing the physical tools and equipment that support them will be extremely beneficial.
