My Project

Privacy and confidentiality is of utmost importance for not only students and people, but especially for those special needs. So much information goes into assessments and documentation for each student. To be able to have a shredder right next to my desk where I am constantly working on confidential paperwork for my students would help keep all information hidden as necessary.

Students should trust that the members of their advocate and support team do what they can to keep their private information private.

With a shredder readily available nearby, I can do just that
