My Project

I teach 6:1:1 Special Needs High School Students with Autism. We would like to give back to our community by making special care packages for patients in the hospital. Our students work on assemblying, following directions, and listening skills. This project can help us practice or maintain these skills. Staying in the hospital can be a trying, stressful time and we believe this will brighten up the patients day! The care packages will include a stress toy, adult coloring books, colored pencils, snacks, and chapstick. Please help us give back to the community!
