My Project

My students are hard-working little 3 and 4-year-old autistic students who come to school every day to learn and play. Our school serves a very diverse population and 95% of our students qualify for the free lunch program.

My students are asked to rest midday in the classroom, and the change from active learning to lying down can be difficult and they sometimes they require special tools to help them feel calm and regulated - vibrating pillow and weight blankets work well!

We appreciate the generosity of donors like you in providing the modification needs for our unique students!
