My Project

My students are bright, enthusiastic learners with autism who thrive when given hands-on, engaging experiences. Physical activity is not just fun for them but it's essential for their development. Whether it's tossing a ball, navigating an obstacle course, or playing adapted indoor games, movement helps improve their focus, coordination, and social skills.

With your help, I hope to provide a variety of fun and accessible sports equipment and activities for both outdoor play and classroom movement breaks.

These tools will offer meaningful opportunities for my students to build strength, release energy in healthy ways, and enjoy teamwork in a safe, structured environment.

From adaptive sports kits and sensory-friendly equipment to classroom-friendly games for rainy days, your donation will bring joy, movement, and inclusion to students who benefit from active learning experiences.
