Tools for Students With Autism to Communicate/Regulate Their Emotions

Help me give my students the tools they need to communicate and regulate their emotions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kay's classroom raised $499

This project is fully funded

My Project

The various fidget toys of their interest will help provide the sensory input my students with autism require and teach them appropriate replacement behaviors.

Mini binders, dividers, and lanyards will be used to create picture exchange communication binders to appropriately communicate their emotions and needs and wants.

PECS binders are required for my students with autism who are non-verbal or have limited language and communication skills.

The emotion meter will be used to check in on how my students are feeling and will allow me to address their feelings as appropriate.

Ms. Kay Kaimuki High School Grades 9-12
