My Project

I love how curious, joyful, and determined my students are. Each day, they show up ready to learn, explore, and connect in their own special ways. I teach 12 amazing students, all between the ages of 4 and 5, with autism. They thrive with structure, creativity, and learning tools that are tailored to their unique needs.

The MacBook Air will allow me to create visual schedules, interactive lessons, and digital resources that support communication and social development.

It will also help me track their progress more efficiently and collaborate with families and support staff to ensure consistency across environments. This one resource will have a big impact—helping me give each child the support they need to grow with confidence and joy.
