My Students

Don't let the fact that my students are special needs fool you! They are talented, capable and ready to learn! These brave students made it through 18 months of virtual despite their disabilities, and they are looking forward to returning the school building this year!

My Project

My students have been out of school for 18 months, and as a new Intensive Support teacher I need tools to help jump start their learning. The students in my class have varied levels of disabilities, including autism. They need manipulative and sensory toys to help them understand and develop their math, reading, writing skills. This will also help them in other academic areas, and in addition helping to improve their fine motor skills. Please help my special needs students can and are willing to learn the basic skills they need to become productive members of society.
