OUR BOXES OF NEURO-SENSORY TOOLS
EDYKA launched a pilot project in several Montreal schools.
We donated a box full of neuro-sensory tools to each of the volunteer classes.
The tools are available to all the children in the class, whether or not they have a learning difficulties diagnosis.
Thanks to this full-scale test, we are able to propose below the items most often used and those considered most effective by the teachers.
Many thanks to Maryvonne, Isabelle, Sabine, Marie, Amélie, Valérie, Judith, Delphine, Kattalin, Amandine, Maëlle, Ingrid, Marie, Mélanie, Bernard, Louis and Thomas for making this project feasible.
