The special education classroom was transformed into a welcoming and supportive space tailored to the needs of neurodivergent students with sensory challenges. Flexible seating, adjustable lighting, and fidget toys were introduced, creating an environment where students could feel comfortable, focus on their work, and thrive academically.
This classroom served as a safe haven where students could complete homework and receive individualized support. By addressing their sensory needs—such as offering alternatives to traditional chairs, providing low lighting, and ensuring access to calming tools like fidget toys—students were better able to concentrate and engage with the general education curriculum.
This grant fostered a more inclusive and nurturing environment, empowering each student to succeed. By prioritizing the physical and sensory needs of the classroom, the project enhanced students’ academic performance and overall well-being.
