High Needs Speech Therapy

Help me give my students with high needs autism a chance to learn and grow!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jess's classroom raised $484

My Project

Hi, I'm Jess and I am an SLP in Lowell, MA. I work with preschoolers with high needs ASD. I'd love to be able to give them a great start in their educational journey by creating lessons that are multi-sensory, effective, and fun!

Most of my students have sensory needs, so I am requesting sensory plush toys to help them regulate, to motivate them to participate in therapy, and to learn!

The area in which I work is of low socioeconomic status, and I want to give the kids opportunities they may not get elsewhere. The population is made up of a significant number of immigrants, and school is a place where the kids can feel safe to learn. Please help me help these children!
