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

We support students with a wide variety of special needs and disabilities. Many of our students seek sensory input for them to calm themselves and feel regulated. Items in this project will help a wide variety of students meet their unique sensory needs!

Being at school can be incredibly overwhelming for our neurodiverse students.

That's why we'd like to provide them with sensory supports such as calming lights, kinetic sand, fidget toys, and balls to make a small ball pit. We have also included bibs for one particular student, and a silly game that is very highly motivating for the entire significant support needs classroom. Thank you for helping my students get what they need!
