Mrs. Howerton's classroom raised $278

Autism + Technology = Amazing Abilities

My students with autism need an iPod and docking station.

Students with autism need donors who are willing to help them learn through music and other media. I teach Kindergarten in a rural southwest Missouri school. My classroom of 22 has 8 students with IEP's and several of them are students with autism. My Kindergarten classroom is full of diversity. I have the highest number of special needs students in my classroom than any other class in Kindergarten this year. Our district is in a high poverty area and over 67% of our students receive free or reduced lunch.

My students with autism are highly visual and seem to thrive when topics are presented through music and video. However, it is not always feasible to play what they need for the entire class or give them access to the computers when we are out of our classroom.

My students with autism would benefit from having an iPod to be able to load our music and videos onto so they would be able to transport the media from classroom to classroom. One of my students is essentially non-verbal, until it comes to music and singing songs. He is a completely different child when he is able to view educational DVD's and listen to age appropriate music.

Your generous donation could help make my students wishes a reality. We would be very thankful for your support in our project.
