What we provide
Resources that open a way in for every student
Special education classrooms need tools that meet students where they are. Here is what Gems Foundation plans to provide to teachers and classrooms.
Sensory tools
Items that help students feel calm, focused, and ready to learn, such as fidgets, textured objects, weighted items, and noise-reducing headphones.
Adaptive materials
Learning materials designed or adjusted for different abilities, like easy-grip tools, visual supports, and hands-on activities.
Classroom instruments
Simple, durable instruments such as hand drums, shakers, and bells that invite every student to join in rhythm and sound.
Art supplies
Paints, crayons, clay, paper, and adaptive art tools so students can create and express themselves in their own way.
Art-based and music-based learning aids
Learning aids we create for special needs classes that use art and music to teach everyday lessons, giving every student a way to learn and take part.
