My Project

My students have Autism, in a 6:1:1 classroom, in a special education High School. They are working on life skills, communication and giving back to the community. We would like to practice these skills by making cards to give back to the USA troops by making greeting cards. The cards will be used to send their loved ones special occasion cards or just to send a special note home. Please help me allow my students practice a multitude of life skills while also learning the importance of giving back to the community. Thank you!
