Help me give my students board games and puzzles such as Jenga, Apples to Apples, Uno, and more that they may use during their free time to develop interests and engage with one another.

Celebrating 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 Project
Research shows that many adults with disabilities work less than 20 hours a week. This leaves individuals with more free time than others. It is my goal to introduce and develop hobbies and interests to engage my students.
It is important for me and the families that I work with to have their students develop interests and engage with others to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Many of my students struggle to develop interests or hobbies, or often only focus on one.
With the implementation of different board games and puzzles, I would like for my students to develop interests and hobbies alongside their peers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
