My Project

I am requesting materials and books to support daily communication and interaction with our therapy dogs. We use tools to motivate the dogs as well, including treats and interactive games with our students. This will allow our students to communicate through pictures which they need as they all have communication deficits. These will be used throughout the day for my social emotional learning lessons spanning 5 classrooms.

Donations for this project would allow me to support my students to communicate and learn in ways that break language and learning barriers.

They would improve my classroom by giving my students the access to visuals with the ink, working with our therapy dogs and working with a therapy team on a daily basis to become more independent and successful learners.
