Help me give my students a comfortable classroom environment that meets their needs and prevents sensory overload.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alissa's classroom raised $206

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 Students
Students in this class are a part of the DOE's District 75, which is our special education district. Students in this district are overcoming odds, many of which are coming from low socioeconomic areas and attend a Title I school.
For many students, their exceptionalities include sensory processing issues that can make the aspects of the classroom such as florescent lighting, seating, and classroom noise overwhelming.
This can greatly affect a student’s ability to comfortably learn and function throughout the school day. Many of my students learn best in an environment that accounts for and mitigates the opportunity for sensory overload. As their teacher, it is my goal to create the most comfortable classroom environment for all of my students that fosters successful learning and development.
My Project
As mentioned, many students with exceptionalities have difficulty processing sensory information. These students are especially sensitive to sensory information and can be made uncomfortable and overwhelmed easily by environmental stimuli. This can make it hard for children to succeed in school.
Simple changes to the classroom environment, that can be made with the items in this project, can greatly increase a students ability to feel comfortable, secure, and focus in the classroom.
The goal of using these sensory supports is to increase the level of alertness or comfort students need to attend and focus on their learning in the classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
