The bounce feet have been an incredible addition, allowing students to release excess energy and concentrate better on their tasks, and the sensory path has proven especially helpful for those needing a moment to refocus or self-regulate, offering a fun and structured way to reset. The alternative sensory inputs have significantly enhanced the concentration of several students.\r\nYour generosity has made a remarkable difference in our classroom, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment where all students can thrive.
