Because of you, my students are now using sensory materials like Play-Doh, kinetic sand, exercise balls, and a parachute during their speech and language therapy sessions. These tools have made such a meaningful difference in our classroom. I've seen students stay engaged longer, feel more regulated, and participate more confidently as we work on skills like requesting, turn-taking, following directions, and using complete sentences. One especially memorable moment was watching a student who typically struggles to attend remain focused for an entire session while excitedly practicing language while using a sensory exercise peanut ball.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions said it all—big smiles, excited pointing, and spontaneous language filled the room. Several students who are usually hesitant to participate were immediately drawn in and eager to try the new activities. The sensory items created an instant sense of excitement and comfort, helping students feel safe, motivated, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these materials will continue to support our work on higher-level language skills like storytelling, sequencing, and social communication. Students will use the sensory tools to retell stories, describe steps, and engage in cooperative group activities that build both language and connection. Your kindness has truly transformed our sessions, and I am so grateful for the positive impact you've made on my students' learning and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1758830401141,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-speech-therapy/9426543/","projectTitle":"Sensory & Speech Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor (Speech)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9824012_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730505871473","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9824012"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15111","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":786,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":46.0,"schoolId":15111,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paul J Solis Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paul J Solis Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/jefferson-parish-schools/paul-j-solis-elementary-school/15111"}
