My Project

Teaching students with special needs requires special tools, ones that aren't in the supply closet! Making sure academics are attainable for my Autistic students, means having plenty of sensory activities and stations available for them.

Minority students from low income homes with special needs deserve the support and supplies they need to learn and grow.

Being able to have these sensory tools can bring learning right to their fingertips, and let them explore in such a way, they don't even know they are learning, they just think they are having fun!
