Driven to Literacy

Help me give my students the voice they need to learn life skills. I want to develop digital assignments so the children can learn to function by using technology.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bailey's classroom raised $487

This project is fully funded

My Students

My kiddos are non-verbal students with autism. The majority of my students come from low-income families or broken homes. I would like to see my kids become more independent as they advance through school. I want to provide them with as many opportunities that I can.

My Project

My twelve kiddos are all nonverbal students with autism. They are at different levels but I would like to help them find their voice with this iPad by making them a digital notebook to use each morning to work on life skills or even their own address and phone number. My kiddos would be over the moon with technology like this. We are a Title I school and they do not have access to technology and I’m sure most of them do not have it at home. Please help my kiddos fly to the moon and back. With your donation, we can give them a voice. My lessons with the digital notebooks help them lear their address, spelling of their names, phone numbers, and letters and numbers.
