My Project

Students learn the most when they experience what was taught. At our school, the students are motivated to learn but require a variety of equipment, tools and worksheets that help them with their occupational therapy needs. These projects will help students in broadening their horizons thereby improving their educational outcome.

To support the occupational therapy, we work through experiential learning.

We are in need of iPad, protective case, screen protector to facilitate interactive learning during therapy sessions. Additionally, the different science kits will complement their learning and provide students with a holistic educational experience. The workbooks will allow our students to reinforce learning. These different items will allow us to improve the student's educational outcome in terms of following complex directions, visual perceptual skills, higher order thinking skills including but not limited to problem solving and critical thinking. .

Thank you for considering a contribution to this life-changing project!
