My Project

My students with special needs learn in beautifully different ways, and no two students are ever the same. Many of my students are non-verbal and rely on visuals to understand the world around them, follow routines, and build independence in daily life skills. Simple tasks like brushing teeth, completing a craft, or participating in a lesson require step-by-step visual supports that are customized for each child. We'll use the requested iMac and printer for programs like Boardmaker and Canva to design these materials, carefully adjusting colors, fonts, and layouts to meet each student’s unique needs, especially for those with visual challenges.

“Every child deserves a way to access their world.”

Because there are so few ready-made resources for students with special needs, I find myself always creating everything from scratch—and each resource must be printed, organized, and laminated for every individual student.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
