Special Education Care Supplies

Help me give my students the supplies, appliances, and snacks to have a comfortable classroom that can meet the needs of the students with special needs.

My Project

This project requests several items that are meant to help meet the needs of my students relating to comfort, hunger, and care. My students get snacks each day to help them stay sustained and full as many of them have limited foods that they will eat and are often hungry throughout the day. We need a new mini refrigerator to keep milk, nutrition supplements, and student lunches cold and safe to consume. The classroom can get very humid, which is why we are requesting a dehumidifier as the students can be affected heavily by the temperature and comfortability of the classroom.The pull ups are used to facilitate bathroom assistance with students who are still working on potty training.

These care supplies will help my students to have their needs met so they can focus on completing academic work and working towards their goals without worry.
