My Project

I am a speech-language pathologist working with students with special needs and abilities, specifically on the autism spectrum. Our students work hard everyday to have successful social and academic interactions but like all, sometimes life can be overwhelming. By providing a sensory safe space, our students will be able to regulate and have a calming, supportive environment.

"Some people with autism may not be able to speak or answer their names, but they can still hear your words and feel your kindness." Please show your kindness and support by donating today.

Ms. Caitlin PS 753k Aveyron Academy @ Canarsie Education Campus Grades 9-12
