My Project

I work with high school age students with disabilities. Most of my focus is helping students learn to be independent and take care of themselves. Hygiene is a major focus in ensuring independence. Some students do not have access to basic hygiene items at home. I want to create a hygiene closet for my students so that they can get the items that they need to be clean and healthy.

My goal for this project is to give students access to the hygiene necessities.

I want to create a safe space for them to get the items they need so that they can feel their best.

I have requested various hygiene supplies that will help them meet their daily needs. I have also included a storage cart so I can give students easy access to these materials. I have also asked for storage pouches so students can create a kit to take home.
