My Project
I work in an ASD room with a great group of kids, and just like every other kid or adult, they need some downtime with a good book and snack. They work hard throughout the day on not just educational goals, but also trying to learn how to self-regulate and control their actions.
Story and snack time is a perfect break for them, just to relax and enjoy life.
Our kids would appreciate anyone who can make this happen for them. We have verbal and non-verbal kids with such great personalities. They deserve to have some downtime and a yummy snack!
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
