Dressed Up To Learn

My students need 2 sets of dress up clothes and storage trunk.

My class is made up of young students who desperately need opportunities to pretend play as they all have Autism and do not automatically know how to pretend play. They also need an organized place to store and put away these dress up clothes as cleaning up after themselves is one of the skills we stress. I teach in a high needs pre-school setting, but we have high reaching expectations for our students to learn.

It is so exciting to watch the emerging language, cognitive, and gross motor skills developing, but there exists a great need to provide fun and creative learning opportunities for social and fine motor growth as well. This "dress up" center will be the perfect spot.

Having these "dress up" clothes will provide opportunities to teach and reinforce language about family members, social skills when attending various "functions", and fine motor self help skills dressing up oneself to attend these activities.

Because we are on a limited budget, these dress up clothes and the storage unit will not be in our classroom to use unless donors like you help us make this possible. It is my dream to see these students reach their fullest potential in all areas, and you can certainly play a big part in making this dream come true.
