Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I work with early-elementary students with special needs. Primarily, the population I work with is comprised of students diagnosed with "severe," nonverbal, Autism Spectrum Disorder who are working on life skills (toileting, communication, social skills, early academic concepts, dressing, etc.).

I have been working with Special Needs students since 2013 and I can't imagine doing anything else---this career is truly my life's passion.

Because my students are considered high-risk in terms of skill loss and regression; mental, emotional, and physical health challenges during both in-person and remote-learning during COVID-19, this situation truly is lose-lose for everyone involved. With your help, I am hoping to make the possibility of my district's reopening this fall as much of a success as possible. Thank you for reading and your consideration to my project!

My Project

I am an educator that works within the Massachusetts school districts with students with special needs. The populations I work require significant levels of support and are not plausibly able to abide by social distancing and mask guidelines, as well as serve a greater risk to becoming sick. I am requesting PPE to help protect myself, my students, close family, and the community. Any contributions are so very appreciated, and I'll do my best to share supplies with other professionals as much as I am able. Thank you for reading and your support!
