My Project
I work with children who have special needs. They are such a gift and I feel rewarded each day they make even the simplest milestone. For my littles, tasks can be extra challenging. A task that may feel simple for the average student, can seem like a mountain of a task for my students. These items(fidget toys and books) on my list help with rewarding, regulating and calming behaviors.
These tools have provided much needed comfort for students who feel over stimulated and need access to a break.
