My Project

The autistic students in my class are always ready for life skills activities and creativity. They like to shop and sort food at the pretend grocery store we have and they love folding clothes and sorting socks. One thing we haven't done yet is teach them how wash and dry clothing. By having some detergent they will be able to sort, wash, dry and fold clothes.

I would love my students to learn basic life skills they need to know as they get older and become adults.

The fidget toys will help keep their hands and minds busy and for some, keep them calm while doing daily assignments.

They also love using their imagination, creating things, playing and listening to music, to do so foam crafts and headphones would be a big help.
