Help me give my students sensory items. Sensory items help my students with autism navigate daily life. I hope the weighted shoulder wrap will calm students and help balance their sensory input.

My Students
I teach a small group of 3 and 4 year olds with special needs, primarily autism. Kiddos with autism tend to have difficulty processing sensory input. As well as communicating their wants and needs. This often times leads to behaviors and difficulty learning.
I have not yet met my students, due to COVID, but hopefully we get to be together soon!
With all the changes students and schools are going through, they are faced with greater challenges in learning and developing. It is even more important now that I am able to give them a safe and loving spaces to learn and grow.
My Project
With your help I hope to create a sensory learning environment for my students. With the sensory items my students will learn in ways that work for them. They will learn how to play. Through play they will learn how to share, take turns, and communicate.
All behavior is a form of communication.
Many of my students have communication difficulties, and behaviors. Sensory tools like a weighted wrap or tactile pillows can help students calm down when they are feeling overwhelmed, or angry. My students are still learning how to cope with big emotions. These sensory tools will help them do just that.
