My Project

I serve in a self-contained special education classroom where most of my students are diagnosed with severe autism. Each day, we work on building essential skills—communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and independence—that help them better understand and navigate the world around them. The Sensory items and other materials I’m requesting are not just classroom supplies; they are vital tools that support sensory needs, increase engagement, and create meaningful learning opportunities. Your generosity will make a real difference in their daily progress and long-term development. Thank you for helping me give my students the support they deserve.
