My Project
This project aims to create a unique learning experience for students with autism by running a coffee cart within the school. This activity is designed to provide a platform for developing essential social skills through meaningful interactions, fostering communication, and promoting a supportive community environment.
The coffee cart setting offers a structured yet dynamic environment for students to practice verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
Engaging with adults in the building encourages the use of language in real-life scenarios, fostering both expressive and receptive communication.
Operating a coffee cart within our school setting promotes inclusivity and acceptance. By actively participating our students with autism can experience a sense of belonging and contribute positively to the broader social fabric of our school community.
Through the "Brewing Connections" coffee cart project, students with autism are not only acquiring practical vocational skills but are also building a foundation for lifelong social success. This initiative embraces neurodiversity and aims to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive socially and personally.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
