My Project

Please help my students with special needs build their confidence and inner voice through the power of these books: I Am Me: A Book of Authenticity, I Am Peace, and My Brain, My Brain, My Beautiful Brain. These titles will guide my students to find peace within themselves, embrace their individuality, and explore the amazing abilities of their unique brains. With your support, they can grow socially and emotionally, discovering the strength in who they are.

Students with special needs often face challenges when it comes to fitting in with their peers.

These books — I Am Me: A Book of Authenticity, I Am Peace, and My Brain, My Brain, My Beautiful Brain — will support them in developing essential social skills and building a strong sense of self-worth. With these tools, my students can grow into more confident, self-assured individuals, better equipped to navigate social situations and celebrate who they are.
