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 amazing products that have been selected will help our special needs students by giving them additional sensory and fine motor strategies to make more effective learning choices. Each of our students are focusing on different areas of need in occupational therapy.

Our students can utilize these items in occupational therapy and in the classroom setting to help assist them in their learning.

These carefully chosen items will be beneficial to help them function in their educational settings and in therapy. Every donation is appreciated to help our students meet their goals.
