My Project
My students with sensory difficulties will benefit from accommodations such as noise-canceling headphones, a quiet space to retreat, alternative seating options, or sensory breaks to help regulate their sensory needs.
Their sensory experiences and needs are unique.
I would like to create a supportive environment that accommodates their needs by fostering a sense of inclusion and allowing them to learn effectively.
Sensory toys can be calming, offering a way to manage anxiety, stress, or frustration. By providing sensory stimulation, these toys can help individuals focus their attention, especially during tasks or in environments where they might otherwise feel overwhelmed or distracted.
