My Students

The students we serve are 3 and 4 year olds with a variety special needs and abilities who are served in a separate classroom in a public school in North Carolina.

Students in our program have mild to moderate physical, developmental and speech needs that are best supported in a high-quality early childhood environment.

Being in a program for exceptional children in the school system, such as ours, helps the students and their families receive the support services they require in one setting.

My Project

In a classroom for young children with special needs, we learn quite a bit through our senses; however, smelling dirty diapers is NOT something we would like for our students to experience! Since diapers are a part of our world, we need an appropriate place to dispose of them rather than in our classroom trashcan!

In contrast, we would like for our students to use their senses to use mirrors and explore how they look and how they form words with their mouth as well as to use during dramatic play.

We need an odor free diaper pail and mirrors for our classroom.
