My Project

My students are working on building life skills, social communication, and teamwork. They thrive in an environment that supports interactive, hands-on learning and positive reinforcement. Motivation plays a key role in their success, and having engaging tools to encourage communication, sharing, and cooperative play makes a huge difference in their progress.

A Nintendo Switch will encourage students to practice turn-taking, problem-solving, teamwork, and social communication in a fun and engaging way.

Cooperative games will help students learn to share, work together toward common goals, and express themselves more effectively. For students with limited verbal skills, games can provide opportunities to practice communication in a low-pressure setting.

A Nintendo Switch will foster an inclusive, engaging classroom environment where students are excited to learn, collaborate, and build essential life and social skills. Your support will provide a powerful tool that makes learning fun while reinforcing important real-world abilities.
