My Project

I'm asking for a reliable and updated computer for lesson planning, IEP writing, data collection, and parent communication. I use a computer for nearly every aspect of my job. It's essential I have updated technology to complete these tasks.

Without a reliable computer, my students are not able to get the appropriate and individualized education they deserve.

I rely on a computer to create resources that make students with IEPs education equitable, collect data for meaningful change and instruction, and complete necessary paperwork. My computer is also used for communication in emails and messages to caregivers and related service providers.
