My students are amazing young men and women with intellectual disabilities. Along with their typical high school subject areas, my students are also scheduled in the community, where they learn various transition skills, such as learning to shop, handle money, use the city bus, and communicate with employers. My students also complete unpaid work and volunteer experiences in the community, as well as participate in an apprenticeship program at an area hospital.
Most of my students come from low income homes, and do not have the supplies needed to maintain proper hygiene.
Without having the supplies needed, students are unable to develop healthy hygiene habits. Aside from various health ramifications, having poor hygiene sets students apart from their peers and makes it harder to find employment.
My Project
Having access to hygiene products (soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, deodorant, clean clothing, etc) will give my students the opportunity to learn and practice appropriate hygiene. I, along with my instructional assistants, will be able to work with each student on a daily basis, to improve their overall hygiene skills.
Having great hygiene can increase a student's success in many areas of life, including in the workforce and with peer relations.
It is essential for students to learn proper hygiene skills now, so they are able to turn them into habits. Students radiate confidence when they look and feel clean.
