The classroom has many learners with varying sensory needs that needed resources desperately. Thanks to you, we now are able to find different objects to meet our sensory needs. We were able to create a sensory pathway for large motor needs. Some of the favorite items received have been the sensory ball for large motor and large body movement regulation and the flexible seating seesaw. The sensory tent, which allows a student to feel snug and secure, has been used on a regular basis. I have been able to have noise canceling headphones hung up and ready to go for overwhelmed students. The students and I love the options we now have for daily use. We will continue to use the items and share the great news that Donor's Choose made this happen.","fullyFundedDate":1739455244766,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-inclusion-for-autistic-k4-lea/8920828/","projectTitle":"Supporting Inclusion for Autistic K4 Learners Through Sensory Supports!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Neuendorf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9454560_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y172&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730824540595","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9454560"},{"teacherId":8160028,"projectId":8990227,"letterContent":"It may seem nontraditional for a school library to have a bunch of board games.
