The Problem

Our goal is to ensure that all individuals, regardless of ability or background, have the tools, spaces, and support they need to thrive. We want to empower neurodiverse individuals to learn, flourish, and embrace their unique abilities. Sensory rooms in hospitals, medical clinics, and refugee aid centers create calming spaces for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, reducing anxiety and improving accessibility in high-stress environments. There are not enough sensory rooms today in public spaces like schools, libraries, or airports to support everyone who could benefit.

Our Plan

We are working with Perception Utah, a branch of the Perception Foundation. This is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals with neurodevelopmental differences. Globally, this organization has served over 365,000 people in 23 countries by building more than 260 sensory spaces. My goal is to create additional sensory kits to donate to local elementary schools in the state of Utah that currently don't have sensory spaces for their students. We can do this by raising funds to help support the cause.
