Sounding Out Success: Noise Cancelling Headphones for Neurodivergent Learners

Help me give my students noise-canceling headphones so they can block distractions and thrive in a calm, focused environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Monte's classroom raised $185

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our neurodivergent learners bring unique perspectives, creativity, and determination to our classroom, but ambient noise often becomes a significant barrier to their success. Noise-canceling headphones will reduce sensory overload and create a quiet, focused space where each student can concentrate on learning without distractions.

My goal is to empower these exceptional individuals to overcome challenges, harness their strengths, and fully engage in their education.

By providing this essential tool, I aim to support their academic and social growth, ensuring that every student feels confident, valued, and ready to contribute their unique talents to our learning community.
