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

I am a counselor for high school students at a special education school. The majority of students on my caseload have autism; others have intellectual disabilities, ADHD, speech/language impairments, etc. I provide group and individual counseling services to my students. We mostly work on social skills, coping skills, anger management, and anxiety management.

My students benefit from hands-on, interactive, fun counseling sessions.

Your donation will help provide me with counseling tools such as books and games to teach social emotional skills in an engaging way.

Thank you for considering a donation to benefit a truly amazing and inspirational group of students!
