Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The “Inclusion Matters” project is a student-led initiative focused on raising awareness about autism and promoting inclusion for students with autism in our school and community. We will educate students and staff about autism spectrum disorders (ASD), fostering understanding, empathy, and acceptance. Additionally, we will establish a sensory corner in our school to provide a dedicated space where students with autism can access sensory materials and tools to help them manage sensory overload and enhance their learning experience.

The beneficiaries will be the entire school community, including general education students, educators, and staff.

By promoting awareness and understanding of autism, we aim to create a more inclusive environment that benefits all students, particularly those with different abilities. The initiative will also extend to families and community members, enhancing overall awareness and support for individuals with autism in our neighborhood.

To successfully implement the “Inclusion Matters” initiative, we are requesting funds for:

Sensory Corner Setup: Materials to create a sensory corner, including items such as fidget toys, weighted blankets, and calming visuals. This space will help students with autism manage sensory needs and provide a safe retreat when feeling overwhelmed.

Sensory Materials: Additional sensory tools like noise-canceling headphones and tactile items that support sensory regulation for students with autism.

Inclusion Kits: Resource kits for teachers and students that include activities and tools designed to promote inclusive practices and support peers with autism in the classroom.

Snacks and Supplies for Events: Providing snacks and materials for community events will create a welcoming atmosphere, encouraging participation from students and families.

By providing these materials, we empower students to lead the initiative effectively while promoting awareness of autism within our school community.
