Your generous donation has helped provide my students with tools to support both structure (printer) and sensory regulation (headphones).\r\n\r\nMany of my students find it easier to focus on paper than on a screen, and your contribution to my project has allowed me this flexibility through the purchase of a classroom printer. My students are excited that I am now able to create individualized materials (fonts, colors, spacing) to suit their preferences and/or sensory needs. In addition, my students use their new headphones to filter distractions, which then in turn helps them to stay focused on their tasks for longer periods of time. My students especially love to use their headphones to listen to calming music which helps to reduce anxiety.\r\n\r\nThank you again so much again for your generous donation!
