I am Ms. R Jones, and I have the privilege of teaching in a functional communication autism classroom in an urban school. Providing a supportive, sensory-friendly environment is crucial for these students' learning and development. Incorporating fidget toys, sensory tools, and flexible seating options allows for changes in mood and classroom dynamics that facilitate better receptiveness to academic, social-emotional, and social skills instruction. By creating an environment tailored to their needs, with your help, I believe we can help these students thrive and reach their full potential. Thank you in advance for your support.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
