My Project

Working with children has always been my dream. Being able to teach them new things while learning from them as well truly motivates me. More than half of my students this coming school year will be nonverbal and/or on the spectrum.

The materials that I am requesting will better assist my students with finding words and communicating with others.

Studies show that when students are consistently exposed to new ways of thinking, they are able to pick up on skills that will help them succeed through life.

Help me help my babies succeed. You are appreciated, and your work doesn’t go unnoticed.
