My Project

My students are Ausome! I am asking for academic materials to better support my students with autism. As you may know, autistic learners often have distinct ways of processing information and interacting with the world, and providing the right tools can significantly enhance their educational experience.

Autistic students typically benefit from a structured and predictable environment, visual aids, and sensory supports.

To better meet their diverse needs, I have selected various literacy and math manipulatives to help differentiate for my various types of learners.

These materials like th Ipad cover will not only will help create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment but also empower my students to achieve their full potential. I truly appreciate your consideration and any support you can provide.

Thank you for your time and for supporting the needs of my students.

Mrs. Schechtman PS 37R @ 844 Grades PreK-2
