Help my students get their individual sensory and communication needs met. This project will support students utilize classroom sensory tools to help with de-escalation. The project will also help the classroom give students a variety of seating options, and ways to communicate and help us to continue to create items for individual use.
My students range in grades from Kindergarten through Sixth Grade and the majority of the students have a diagnosis of Autism.
By using the materials requested within the classroom, I can assist students to feel calm throughout their school day and also provide them with a variety of ways in which they can learn to de-escalate when feeling overwhelmed. Students use visual schedules throughout the school day to ensure they understand what is happening and when it is happening. Lamination will be used to create words/picture cards needed for each schedule.
Overall, I am asking for support to update my classroom sensory options for students to be as successful as possible at school!
More than half of students from low‑income households
