Sensory Tools, Oh My!

Help me give my students who are on the Autism spectrum tools to use in their classes that will help them focus and fidget. My students benefit from using the Crazy Aaron's thinking putty to keep them focused.

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 work with students in 7th to 12th grade who have Autism. They rely heavily on sensory tools to help them focus in class, and to self-regulate.

I have Crazy Aaron's thinking putty for them to use in my classroom.

It is a few years old and they need new ones. After so many students use them they start to break down. I would like to provide all my students with their own and have a few extras for classroom use.

My students also use other sensory tools such as fidgets within their classes to stay focused. I often buy these out of my own pocket. We need new ones as they get used frequently and break.
