The new materials—especially the sensory tools, communication supports, and hands-on learning items—have had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new resources, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. One of my nonverbal students instantly gravitated toward a new fidget tool and began using it during circle time—something he previously struggled to sit through. Another student who typically avoids writing tasks eagerly picked up one of the new dry-erase boards and began drawing with confidence.\r\n\r\nWe've already integrated the new materials into a classroom project focused on identifying emotions and using coping strategies. Using visuals, sensory bins, and role-play, students are learning to recognize their feelings and respond in positive, self-regulated ways. These tools are helping to build independence and emotional awareness in a way that truly meets their individual needs.\r\n\r\nYour donations did more than provide supplies—they helped create moments of success, joy, and growth. As we move forward, we'll be using these materials daily to support communication, emotional regulation, and academic engagement. Every item you gave is helping us close learning gaps, support behavior goals, and build life skills.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our journey. Your kindness and belief in inclusive education are making a lasting difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1724083800947,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-our-asd-unit-with-sensory-bins/8499546/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Our ASD Unit With Sensory Bins and Music!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9469832_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x551,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721138534888","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msbriannaburger"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30958","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1275,"numTeachers":79,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.5,"schoolId":30958,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about L.C.
