A Neurodiverse Library!

Help me give my students a variety of books that teach about autism and neurodiversity!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $424

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project contains a wide variety of children’s books about autism and neurodiversity. This project would allow me to expand my library and provide my students with books that they can see themselves in and learn from.

Acceptance starts with awareness and a little education.

These books would help my students learn more about autism and other disabilities. The ability to learn about things that make others different than ourselves will help my students learn to accept and include those with differences. Thank you for donating to my project and to my students!
