Help me give my students a more accessible classroom and fluid class experience. I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Type 2) which weakens my muscles over time and makes me wheelchair bound. Many of my students are also disabled.
I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Type 2) which weakens my muscles over time and makes me wheelchair bound. I teach English and many of my students are disabled as well. It would help all of us so much to have these items in our classroom, especially the iPad. Our school Chromebooks are so incredibly inefficient and beaten up. Our students with disabilities who need technology would be using it for projects and notetaking. The pointers, speaker, and the rest of the supplies are for us to have a fluid and accessible experience together. Thank you for considering funding our project.
More than half of students from low‑income households
