My Project

Teaching vocational skills to special needs students is my passion! By being able to to teach my students the importance of cleanliness and getting them job ready in the field of retail and custodial work is essential to their future.

These materials will help the students learn how to clean properly.

They will use the materials such as the vacuum and mop and dust pan to leave helpful life and job skills! All other materials such has organizers and Velcro, and glue dots will be used to set up a check in station for them to self reflect and assess their own skills!

My students have the ability to leave independence with the right guidance and materials. Many of my students are non verbal and come from low income areas and would appreciate this so much! Please consider helping my students learn independence and have a chance to take pride in themselves! Thank you!
