My Project

Your donation will help fund a variety of play items that will allow my students to learn play through sensory exploration, fine motor development, and the many different developmental stages of play. Research has shown that play is closely related to language development… and it is so very, very important in early intervention. My students are neurodivergent and so their play takes many forms… exploration, cause and effect, repetitive, pretend, parallel, etc. I am hoping to provide them with a variety of materials to scaffold their play and help them grow:)
