My Project

Aloha,

My name is Kattie Thammas and I work with students with high sensory and communication needs.

My students are in needs of a sensory swing to help with regulation and sensory needs.

My students crave sensory input throughout their school day, this swing would help them regulate their body and provide a calming area for them to reset when they are feeling overwhelmed.

Having an area where my students can help regulate their bodies is important because it allows a safe space for them to focus and recenter themselves.

Thank you for viewing my project,

Kattie
