Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Supporting students with learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) is crucial for their academic and emotional growth. Donors play a vital role in providing resources that cater to their unique needs. Books, flexible seating, lap desks, and journals offer significant benefits for these students in middle and high school settings.

Books serve as powerful tools for expanding knowledge and fostering empathy.

Access to diverse literature not only enriches their understanding of the world but also validates their experiences. Reading promotes language skills, critical thinking, and reduces stress, benefiting their overall well-being.

Traditional classroom setups may not accommodate the diverse needs of students with disabilities. Flexible seating options, such as floor pillows allow students to choose the setup that suits them best. This promotes comfort, engagement, and ultimately, better academic performance.

Lap desks provide a portable and stable surface for students to work comfortably. Especially beneficial for those with attention or sensory issues, lap desks offer a personalized solution that enhances productivity and concentration.

Journaling offers a safe space for students to express their thoughts and emotions. Through writing, drawing, or creative exercises, they develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and coping strategies. Journaling also fosters communication skills and self-advocacy.

Books, flexible seating, lap desks, and journals are essential resources for students with disabilities in middle and high school. Donors' support in providing these resources can significantly impact students' academic success and emotional well-being. Together, let us create inclusive learning environments where every student can thrive.

Ms. Roben will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 3.
