Help me give my students a sensory swing, sensory wall, social skills games and tools along with incentive options for our students class store.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Madden's classroom raised $2,828

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our Emotional Disabilities program focuses on teaching social skills and coping strategies/self regulation. This project will help us complete a sensory room for our students to use to help self regulate. We are working on creating a sensory wall/corner with sensory tiles and sequin fabric along with a tent cool down center and sensory swing options for students as well.

Our students have a token economy to help positively reinforce appropriate behavior while at school.

This project will help supply our class store that our students shop at for their token economy. A color printer will also allow us to create visual cue cards for our students to use in their classrooms when a sensory break is needed.
