My Project

Welcome! I am a new high school SLP. I need help obtaining materials for high school and transition-age students. My students are working on vocational, social, and life skills. We are working to build their independence. We need your help to provide them with materials to support these goals. Life skills are so important to ensure our students can grow to live on their own or live with support. They are such sweet, fun, and capable students and they deserve our help!

Thank you in advance for your support!

Ms. Z Uplift Community High School Grades 9-12
