Help me give my students a more quiet, focused environment for individual or small group work. This helps me to support students with sensory processing needs by providing a way to reduce external auditory stimuli.
Hello, my name is Taylor Williams and I am a 12 to 1 special education teacher in Brooklyn, NY. I am writing this in order to get support for our low-income special education classroom, where many of our students are on the autism spectrum. Providing sensory toys like Play-Doh, kinetic sand, and headphones can transform their learning experience.
Sensory toys are invaluable for our students, offering tactile stimulation that helps improve focus and self-regulation.
Play-Doh and kinetic sand not only engage their senses but also enhance fine motor skills, encouraging creativity and problem-solving in a fun way.
Headphones play a vital role in minimizing auditory overload, creating a calm environment where students can concentrate and thrive. Your donations would directly impact their ability to engage in learning, reducing anxiety and fostering a more productive classroom atmosphere.
Together, we can create a supportive space that empowers these children to reach their full potential. Your generosity will make a lasting difference in their lives. Thank you for considering this opportunity to help!
More than half of 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
