This project will be used for my students who have autism spectrum disorder. In our classroom we provide all instruction for academics, social, and vocational skills. In order to practice the skills necessary for success after high school students do on campus jobs. These on campus jobs include recycling and coffee orders, the coffee cart. Our coffee maker broke after several years of use and is not provided by the district. This means the coffee materials are paid for out of the teacher's pocket or the funds raised previously, which are non existent now due to COVID.
