Mrs. Dorothy Sullivan, an Autistic Support teacher for Penn-Trafford School District, has received funding through DonorsChoose to enhance her Harrison Park Elementary classroom with sensory tools designed to support student learning and well-being.
The funded project provides a variety of sensory items, including fidget tools, a sensory tent, and sensory bins. By offering safe and supportive ways to manage sensory input, the tools help create a calmer, more comfortable learning environment tailored to students’ developmental needs.
“Because of these funds, our classroom is able to provide essential sensory tools and materials that help students regulate, focus, and engage in learning,” commented Mrs. Sullivan.
