My Students

Imagine what it would be like to rely on pictures to interact with your world. In our school pictures are in fact worth a thousand words as they are what many of our students use to learn and communicate with others.

My students have all been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and attend an elementary school designed for children with special needs.

Children on the Autism Spectrum are visual learners and rely on pictures to assist them throughout their day. Some students use the pictures to support their learning while others use them to communicate because they are non-verbal and have no voice of their own.

My Project

When provided with the ink, we will have the resources to print out necessary materials for our students such as communication boards, book adaptations, classroom enhancements, visual schedules, and much more. This will enable them to learn and communicate in a manner that best suits their needs. I am requesting 8 printer cartridges.

This project will give a voice to children that otherwise would not be able to effectively communicate their needs to others.

The ink will provide us with the resources to make sure their "voices" are never silenced.
