My Students

My students are working hard learning how to sort objects according to shape, color, size, and category. We need more academic based sorting materials desperately!

My students are between the ages of 11 and 14 and have profound special needs.

My students cognitive and physical disabilities are so severe that they attend a separate facility that specializes in individualized education and a functional academic curriculum.

My Project

My students need a shape sorting magnetic board, sorting centers, and a fact family house pocket chart. These materials will help my students achieve their goals of learning how to sort by color, quantity, category, size, shape, etc. My students also desperately need to continue to work on their fine motor skills and these materials will help them master basic skills such as putting objects into a container correctly and efficiently.

It is important that my students learn these skills now so they are able to productive members in the workforce when they graduate and seek employment at the adult activity center.

Hands-on learning materials are how my special needs students learn best! Thank you for considering helping us out.
