Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 25

Thank you for funding this grant to help provide accommodation(s) for students with exceptionalities. The learning tools increased independent functioning skills to participate in the academic curriculum. The variety of pencil grips were beneficial to students to promote proper hand positioning on the pencil. Students loved being able to choose which one felt the best for them along with the most functional for their needs. The Legiliners helped students be independent with adding lines to blank response fields to assist with spatial awareness and legibility. The variety of pencils and markers provided students with options to choose a fun tool to complete their writing tasks. The spacing sticks helped students leave adequate spaces between words. The sensory stones and sensory strips helped students who needed a quiet fidget attend to classroom instruction. The slant boards helped students who required a different writing surface to increase strength and stability when writing. The adaptive writing paper and tools assisted students in efforts to increase readability of written work. The noise canceling headphones helped students with auditory defensiveness participate in the classroom without the distraction of aversive sounds. All of the tools funded by this grant impacted the lives of students with exceptionalities in order to make progress and achieve academic success.
