My Project

My students are working on building functional communication with assistive technology devices (high and low-technology) and love when we use real-world scenarios to practice IEP goals in math, reading, learning behaviors, communication, and vocational/career readiness.

My goal is to provide my middle and high school students with functional opportunities to practice communication, independent living, and employment skills - one cup of coffee at a time.

Student will take and fill staff orders at our coffee shop using the supplies on this list.

Your support will provide us with the supplies we need to get this coffee shop running.
