The students have used this area to help with all behaviors. As you can see in the second picture, the area has been used many many times and has some TLC needed now. But my students have used this to calm down and talk through the behavior! For example, a student who comes in to the classroom very upset and his body language is clear, we direct him to the calm corner where he can pick a coping skill to use or show aggression to the bean bag chairs. This is a great place for them to do this because harm risk is very low and they are staying in one spot! Thank you again so much! We love it”

Thank you so much for support me and the students in my room! We are so thankful for these resources and reinforcers that are needed! I run a behavior program and these items help my students to stay motivated and to keep going! I cannot wait to see what is in store for this spring! Thank you so much!!!”
Thank you so much for helping my students be successful! The material in this project helped organize and clean the classroom, making it a more inviting place to be and learn. Each student has used the material to help clean, take responsibility, and help keep the classroom organized.
This classroom is for student who have large behavior and are still learning the skills to help manage those. We use coping skills like, breathing, taking a break, or listening to music. But with these, student cannot focus on their self due to the clutter and disorganization of the classroom. Thank yo for making it possible for my students to use these skills and keep the classroom together!”
This resources helped provide a clean and organized environment for our students to be successful!! We are so thankful for your contribution to help us! We are using all of these items around the room and to learn how to clean up after ourselves and learning new life skills as we go. Each student has their own "chore" around the room in helping and learning responsibility and to take care of the classroom. Thank you so much for helping us achieve this goal and make this project a reality for myself, my staff, and my students!!”

Thank you so much for giving to my classroom! These reinforcers have already helped my students be motivated to change their negative behaviors. They have learned coping skills and replacement behaviors to help with their intense and big emotions. Each day they work hard to use these skills to earn points at the end of the week. These points are determined by their behaviors shown and what "prize" they get to pick out of the cabinet at the end of the week. All of the items bought have been used in the cabinet and I cannot wait to see what else they will be motivated to change!”

Thank you so much for all the books! We have used them to help our students learn coping skills and social skills to be successful! We have already seen a positive change in behavior by using these books within our lessons! Our students love to be able to connect the text to real life and use these skills outside the classroom! We used the books to learn coping skills to use when they have big emotions as well as learning social skills to gain friendships and have full conversations! Thank you again for all that you have done!!”
Thank you for all of your support in teaching out students the vocational skills to be successful not only at school but at home and in their community. They are learning skills like, mopping, vacuuming, wiping tables off, cleaning their dish after meals, loading the dish washer, and picking up trash within their community. As well as things like reading a pay stub, interview questions, counting money, clocking in and out for day, and much more real world scenarios. Thank you again for everything that you have done! We appreciate you greatly!”
Thank you so much for helping us meet our vocational goals! Our students are learning so much just to be able to help out in their homes and communities! We have been working on washing our own dishes, vacuuming, mopping, and loading a dish washer. Along with that, they are learning to use soap appropriately and cleaning up their messes inside and out. We have also talked about what a pay stub is and how to read one in the work place! Thank yo again for all of your support! We greatly appreciate it!”

We are so excited to see the changes in our students and them growing to become citizens, we want to supply the needs and tools to help them live in the community and be a functional part of society! Thank you again for all that you have done!”
