Life Essentials for Special Needs Students

My students need shoes and clothing to improve their lives and meet basic needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rogers's classroom raised $587

This project is fully funded

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. They do not know how to clean, cook, handle hygiene, wash clothing, etc. These are all skills that many of us take for granted. These essential life skills are a focal point for my students. They need to learn how to complete simple things like changing their clothing after an accident, washing their dirty clothing, making their own drink, making a simple food item or meal, and self-care things like brushing teeth and flossing.

My Project

The resources requested will help my students immensely. The items requested will help meet my student's needs and help with some life skills. Many of my students are from very low-income families and often they do not have the resources to provide clothing that fits well and is clean.

The resources will meet needs by providing them items they greatly need.

This will help provide clothing to wear at school in case of accidents, which happen frequently and it's difficult to find clothes for them to wear while we wash/dry their dirty ones, clothing to take home and wear regularly as some need clothing that fit well and are clean, shoes for my students because many don't have shoes that are appropriate for the weather or that fit.
