My Project

Help me give my students a sensory room with tools and activities to help regulate their bodies, reduce stress, improve focus and increase time spent in the classroom.

The goal of this project is to foster a space where students can successfully utilize regulation skills, promoting positive academic, social and emotional outcomes for ALL students who access the space!

Research has found that when students' social, emotional and sensory needs are met, they are better able to communicate, interact with peers, and develop the foundational skills they need for future success.

These resources will transform our sensory room into a space where students feel welcomed, supported, confident and empowered! Thank you for your generosity in creating a brighter future for these young learners!
