Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This project is for sensory support items.

My Autistic Support classroom consists of students with different abilities.

Some are on the spectrum and are non-verbal, while others have disabilities that require more goal-oriented supports.

My goal is to create a designated safe space where the social and emotional needs of my students can be met through play using various sensory items. The feelings poster and puppets are a great way to introduce social stories about ways to handle big emotions. The liquid tiles are a perfect way to define the calming corner which will house fidget toys like the busy board and Hand-2-Mind blocks to redirect behaviors during transitions or brain breaks.

Please help me give my students the resources they need to ensure a fun, safe, yet stimulating learning environment. These toys will help support sensory input by providing my students with a positive way to regulate their bodies' emotions.
