My Project

This project focuses on our most vulnerable population of students in a self-contained setting for students with disabilities. Due to our students' multiple disabilities, many of them, face a multitude of barriers to accessing art projects due to their needs in areas such as fine and gross motor skill development, as well as communication abilities and physical therapy needs.

Many of our students are confined to a wheelchair and communicate with us through the mode of an adaptive communication device or AAC.

Many of our students are confined to a wheelchair and communicate with us through the mode of an adaptive communication device or AAC.

These art supplies will allow our students to engage in art lessons to create autobiographic artwork. This will provide my students with an outlet for self-expression. They will use the artwork to contribute to our school community by providing decorations for our school-wide events such as student of the month ceremonies, fairs, and holiday dances.
