Project Title: Hermanowski Foundation Sensory Room
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Victory Center respectfully requests $10,000 from the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Foundation to help establish a state-of-the-art sensory room that will expand therapeutic learning opportunities for students with autism spectrum disorder to be established and built in 2027.
\nFor more than 25 years, The Victory Center has provided highly individualized education and therapeutic services for children and young adults with autism. Instruction is grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a research-based approach that uses structured teaching, data collection, and positive reinforcement to help individuals build communication, social, and functional life skills. Because many students with autism experience sensory processing challenges that affect attention, emotional regulation, and behavior, environments that support sensory integration are critical to their ability to learn and thrive.
\nResearch shows that sensory-based environments can reduce anxiety, improve self-regulation, and increase engagement in learning activities for children with autism. A dedicated sensory room will allow Victory Center students to access therapeutic equipment that helps regulate sensory input while strengthening motor planning, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
\nThe planned sensory room will include equipment specifically selected to support sensory integration and physical development. A raindrop swing will provide gentle movement and deep pressure that help students calm their bodies, develop body awareness, and improve motor planning. A modular balance beam set will strengthen coordination and collaborative play while building confidence in movement. Hopscotch gel floor tiles will provide visual stimulation while encouraging jumping and gross motor activity. A Jumparoo will offer \u201cheavy work,\u201d an important therapeutic strategy that helps students regulate sensory input and improve body awareness. A low-profile climbing wall will promote problem-solving, strength, and safe exploration of movement.
\nTogether, these tools will create a multi-sensory therapeutic environment that helps students regulate their bodies, engage in learning, and build independence. With the Hermanowski Foundation\u2019s support, The Victory Center will provide students with autism access to a dynamic space designed to strengthen both developmental outcomes and long-term quality of life.
\nIf awarded we would like to offer a naming opportunity for our sensory room as The Hermanowski Foundation Sensory Room. Thank you for your time, consideration and partnership.\n<\/p>\n
