These materials support regulation, focus, and comfort, allowing students to better access instruction and fully participate in learning alongside their peers.\r\n\r\nThe organizational tools are also making a meaningful difference. Students are learning how to better manage their materials, plan their work, and stay organized, which supports independence and overall academic growth.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is truly making a difference in our classroom each day.
