Hi! I am Vanessa, teacher of a middle school Life Skills classroom in Portland. Our room is twelve to thirteen strong!

Our kids continue to amaze us and deserve the best educational opportunities available. Transition proves difficult for students in our classroom; the ball, body sox and giant hop ball will aide in break times between activities! Swim diaper covers will mean field trips to the local pool.

Together we can provide these kids with the best out there! Nothing can stop us, and nothing should stop them.

These products will provide students with opportunities transition appropriately and the swim diaper covers will make swimming field trips possible. The books will improve student independence and self-advocacy! We can do this.
