My Project

I work with several students in General Education who have IEPS. They all have different needs but each and everyone can benefit from these tools at school to be successful in returning to class. They’ll use the reading canopy and items in designated areas to help them calm down in a safe space after they have to be removed from class. All donations will go towards the purchase of items that’ll give them options to choose from in this space. Your generosity is very much needed and appreciated! We can’t make this happen without you .
