Help me give my students a room divider, carpet, and flexible seating options to be able to teach students the way they need to learn.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Valerio's classroom raised $950
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
Creating a supportive, engaging, and sensory-friendly learning environment is essential for autistic students to thrive. The items on this list are carefully selected to enhance sensory regulation, encourage active engagement, and create a structured yet flexible classroom space tailored to their needs.
The Easy-Clean Room Divider helps reduce distractions and create designated learning areas, while the Natural Accents Classroom Carpet provides a comfortable and defined space for group activities, promoting social interaction and structure.
The rocking chair and sit-and-spin activity toy offer vital movement opportunities, helping students with self-regulation and body coordination—key components for focus and emotional stability. Additionally, sensory tools like the peanut ball and chew necklaces support sensory-seeking behaviors in a safe and therapeutic manner, fostering calm and reducing anxiety. Practical additions like a visual calendar for predictable routines further enhance the structured learning experience. By donating, you are directly contributing to a classroom that nurtures independence, confidence, and meaningful learning experiences for children who need it most. Every item plays a crucial role in helping these students reach their full potential, and your generosity can make a lasting impact on their educational journey.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
