Special Needs Resource Closet

Help me give my students resources to meet their sensory, writing, and reading needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $588

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project would allow me to provide teachers at my school a place to go when they need resources for students in their classroom who have special needs.

The items in this project would address common sensory needs, behavioral needs, reading needs, and writing needs that are commonly seen with our students who have special needs.

My goal is to have a resource closet for teachers to go to when they need resources to meet the needs of the students with special needs within their classroom. It would provide them with multiple different options to try with their students. We need wobble seats, bouncy chair bands and sand timers.
