My Project

This year I will be teaching a wonderful group of students in autistic support. Due to their high sensory needs, I would love to give them some flexible seating and a nice area in the classroom where they can go to calm down, relax, and take a break. With your help, you will be helping students thrive in an environment which might be otherwise hard for them on a day to day basis. Let’s make classrooms more accessible and welcoming to all neurodiverse students. Thank you in advance for your support!
