Sensory Supports for Student Success

Help me give my students wobble sensory cushions, and dry erase markers/writing materials that are more accessible to young students with disabilities

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berger's classroom raised $216

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

I'm a speech-language pathologist who works with students with a variety of types of disabilities, who often have fine motor and sensory difficulties that make learning even harder for them. Materials that are easier to hold/write with and tools to help them center themselves while they work are necessary help them access more challenging work.

My project is requesting wobble seats to help with sensory integration, and dry erase marker and assorted accompaniments (clear sleeves, paper, cleaning wipes) as an alternate way for disabled students to attempt writing or drawing activities.

Please help me help my students! Many of my students prefer to use dry erase markers over pencils, and anything they need to help them concentrate so they can learn I want to give them!
