iPads for Autism

My students need an iPad and case to help with their communication needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maples's classroom raised $707

This project is fully funded

My Students

I would love to open more doors for my students who have Autism and are nonverbal.

I teach students with special needs.

I have students with Autism, Down Syndrome, and who are learning disabled. My classroom is self-contained, and my students have severe disabilities. Many of my students are nonverbal or have severe communication issues. The students need a lot of support from teachers.

My Project

I am asking for one iPad and case for my autism classroom. Many of my students with Autism are nonverbal, and having an iPad could be an important tool to help increase their communication. With an iPad in the classroom, it could help five different students have better communication.

My project is very important because I have nonverbal students who could benefit greatly from having daily access to an iPad.

An iPad could help students in my classroom with communication.
