My Project

Many of my special needs students have difficulty with fine motor skills.

Having a lap-top with a touch screen will allow my students to become more independent when taking assessments and accessing work independently.

Many of my students struggle with pencil grip, using a computer mouse and manipulation small objects. Having a touch-screen laptop will allow my students to access information and tasks that they otherwise could not. It's very challenging trying to find all of the materials my students need to succeed and I cannot do it with the generous help of people like you. Thank you for taking the time to help my students.
