Kids In Need - Special Needs

My students need shoes, pants, shirts, and socks to meet some of their basic needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rogers's classroom raised $364

My Students

My students all have a moderate to severe intellectual disability. Their future isn't career or college based. Their future is life skills and independent living skills based. We work daily on academics, career skills, and independent living/life skills. The most important topic is their independence and ability to care for themselves. We will learn academic skills, like measurement, when working with measuring out laundry detergent and while cooking/baking. The students will also work on life skills and real-life problem-solving as we venture into cleaning, cooking, baking, and self-care.

Their families do not always have the resources needed to meet their child's unique learning or functional needs.

Many of my students do not generalize a skill very well and may learn it in one environment but be unable to do it anywhere else.They need the extra support from the school and teachers while working on skills like money, time, hygiene, etc. so that their child actually obtains the skill. My students need collaboration between school and home to foster the skills needed for independent living!

My Project

My students all have a moderate to severe learning disability and do not understand how to let others know what they want/need. My students are from a high poverty region and do not have a lot in terms of basic essentials like shoes, socks, and clothing. The items in this project will go directly to my students to use each day. A couple of my students lack a good pair of shoes and need something to wear to and from school that is reliable and not falling apart. They also need new socks to wear with their shoes because those they have now are not in the best of shape. One of my students is also in need of some clothing as he continually wears the same things numerous times and school resources cannot currently meet his sizing needs. To not leave out anyone, I'm also requesting two shirts for female students in the room.
