My Project

This wish list will benefit and support the students in the life skills classes at our school. Students with low-incidence disabilities are able to connect with the curriculum and experience meaningful learning through the use of manipulatives.

These manipulatives like the geometric solids and dominoes will allow students to make meaningful connections while learning necessary life skills to ensure their success in post-secondary life.

These materials will provide students with work tasks that can be related to real-life job skills and independent living skills. Students are able to access the curriculum and develop skills in a meaningful and memorable way. The pencil boxes and pouches will help students keep their supplies organized.
