Increasing Independent Play

Help me give my students items to run their ABA programs. My students are learning independent play skills and can use the hide and go farm and ball toy to work on these skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kaiser's classroom raised $434

My Project

Our students have all been classified with Autism. Our students require unique opportunities to work and learn. Through drastic state funding, we have limited resources to acquire the materials we need to help our students succeed.

These materials allow for our students to work to the best of their ability and achieve their goals.

Allowing different types of toys and manipulative options for our students to play with can help increase their receptive, expressive language, and visual performance. Many of these materials also aid in giving students the sensory input they seek.
