I work as an intervention specialist servicing students with profound disabilities. The students I serve are between the ages of 11-16. In fact, our entire school services students with the most profound disabilities. Unfortunately, funding has been cut within our school. We have been asked by administration to do "more with less." We could desperately use your help.

My students do not learn like their typically developing peers. My students learn best when they can complete tasks hands-on. My students are also visual learners. I need to be able to display pocket charts in a way that my students can access them so they can participate hands-on.

A mobile teaching easel would be a wonderful addition to our classroom. My students would be able to easily reach the pocket charts on the easel. My student could also use the white board to practice their handwriting. The mobile teaching easel is also magnetic for my students to manipulate magnetic objects on. Plus, the easel is mobile so I can move it directly in front of my students who are in wheel chairs.

We would use this mobile teaching easel every single day! You will make it possible for my students to learn the best way they know how. Please help us out! Thank you!
