FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finn's classroom raised $205
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I’m an occupational therapist at various schools in Bronx, NY looking for tools to better help my students succeed through addressing their sensory needs. I service many children with various sensory regulating and processing needs. These child struggle to regulate their emotions and themselves which in turn is hindering their academic performance. With the help of flexible seating, fidgets, and lap pad that I have included in this project, it will help me start to bring some vital tools I need to assist my students to succeed and regulate themselves to have a successful educational experience!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
