Thanks to you, our classroom was able to finish the school year strong with tools that made a real difference in our students' ability to learn, regulate, and focus.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, students were immediately curious and excited. The noise-canceling headphones quickly became a favorite, especially during independent work times when focus was key. The kick bands helped students stay seated and calm during lessons, while still being able to move in a way that supported their regulation needs. Our new earbuds and headphones allowed students to engage more meaningfully with online programs, especially during individualized instruction. The tablet made goal tracking interactive and accessible—students loved being able to \"check in\" on their progress and see their efforts visualized in real time.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped build stronger routines and more confidence in the classroom, and we're carrying that momentum into next year. With tools already in place, we'll be able to start the year ready to dive deeper into goal-setting and self-regulation activities. Your support has not only helped meet immediate needs but also laid the groundwork for a more successful future for our learners.
