Help me give my students the opportunity to independently practice their life and vocational skills!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Poteet's classroom raised $213
This project is fully funded
My Project
As a self-contained teacher, I teach a modified curriculum for students with intellectual disabilities. The materials included in this project will help me create accessible task box materials for my special education classroom. Adaptive materials are used for students that have limited verbal communication, visual impairments, and cognitive challenges. With these accessible task boxes students will be able to independently practice their life and vocational skills to prepare for life after high school and obtaining a job.
Students will independently utilize these task boxes daily.
Many of my special education students want a job and to be as independent as possible, and these materials will help me help them achieve their goals!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
