"Melissa, Please check out the "How does your Engine Run" - Alert program.  I took the workshop 2 years ago.  It was amazing!  Additionally, Dr. Ayer's books are a wonderful resource.  Good Luck this schoolyear!"

Hi, I made you a new button for your group but would prefer to use a photo image of a sensory bin if you have one.  You could email me though We Teach.  Thanks, Carolyn Wilhelm (I am helping Amy with some tasks for We Teach)
