Social Emotional Learning

Help me give my students tools to manage their focus and anxiety while meeting their social and emotional needs using Noise Cancelling Headphones.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nelson's classroom raised $159

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are at various social and emotional levels. There are many 'fidget' tools on this list to help them focus in their general education classrooms as well as in my special education classroom. These will help them manage their behavior, as well as build those skills.

The students that will benefit from this project are students with Autism, Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Developmental Delays/Disorders.

All these students deserve materials and tools to help them build their social, emotional, and self-management strategies to be able to continue progressing as their non-disabled peers. They need to manage their focus using Noise Cancelling Headphones.
