My Project

I teach students with Autism with Mod-Sev Disabilities. The craft kits, Play-Doh, paint pens and other supplies will help the student participate in hands on activities during the art activities.

The students are easily distracted and to keep focus on the art activities which are hands on helps them manage their behavior and focus on task and increase their time on doing the art activities in the classroom.

By donating to this project, you will help my students who come back from low socioeconomic background. Having this supplies will help me in creating a classroom environment where students will increase their focus and less distracted during the structured art activities.
