The students in our STEPS Program are ready to learn how to be independent. They will be exiting the school system in a couple of years and with these materials, we will enhance classroom instruction in our daily living and employability skills classes.
By creating an in-school business where the students will create and make buttons to sell to the students around the school, they will gain valuable skills to help them transition into post-secondary programs for students with disabilities or supported employment in the community. The in-school business will give students the opportunity to communicate with non-disabled peers, socialize, create, count money, and make change, and maintain inventory. This will allow them to fundraise and in turn, use these funds to purchase other most needed supplies and class trips to enhance instruction.
The irons and boards will help students learn basic laundry skills needed in order to maintain the class project currently in place of recycling used school uniforms for those needy students. We will also use the brooms to teach the students housekeeping while helping keep the classrooms clean.
We need ink to maintain our copy center. This allows our students with autism to practice office skills while making copies and delivering to the teachers.
