Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In my work as a school psychologist at Cleveland Metro Schools, I often evaluate children with Autism. They prefer to play with sensory toys and I need your help in purchasing these toys!

Help me with buying sensory toys so that my students with Autism can play and be engaged in the evaluation process- and so I can figure out what they need in school and at home.

These toys engage all children, but specifically students with Autism whose sensory needs are inherent in their diagnosis and their entry point to engaging with the world.
