My Project

Please help us provide our students with the sensory materials such as weighted blankets, lap mats, and weighted sensory toys to improve overall regulation throughout the academic school day. My students require various strategies, learning methods, and learning options to meet each of their needs throughout the school day within the classroom and sensory room.

The weighted blanket and other weighted items will assist in helping the students remain calm, secure, and increase their focus.

The materials can be used throughout the day while ambulating and/or while seated. They can assist our students while walking and transitioning while continuing to feel calm and secure as they transition between classes as well as activities.
