A sand painting light box for Jake’s sensory needs
Jake, 8 years old, IL
Wish submitted by:
Equipping the Called Foster and Crisis ClosetJake has been in foster care since his biological family left him at the hospital when he was five years old. Since joining his foster family and gaining stability, he has made significant progress in his development. Jake attends developmental therapy and is enrolled in a special school program for children with autism. He particularly enjoys the Trolls movies and has a fascination with bees. Additionally, Jake likes coloring and playing with clay.
Jake is non-verbal, but his therapists and teachers have observed that certain tools can really help him thrive. They've recommended a sand painting light box, as he finds great comfort in engaging with similar toys during school and therapy. The calming effect of these activities draws him in, and he enjoys exploring the different lights and creating shapes. This engaging sensory experience will not only provide him with joy but also support him in reaching his therapy goals.
