My Project

These sensory items will help our diverse population of students meet their own needs by having access to a variety of tools. The opportunity to self regulate will help them focus and participate at the maximum rate possible.

I plan to offer a bin of items that students can easily access and choose from based on their own personal needs.

Each of these items provides a unique opportunities to help each student gain appropriate support and independence while continuing to learn and minimizing disruption to the learning environment and maximizing self regulation.
