Life Skills Center

Help me give my students a portable washing machine, a cot, and home essentials to promote functional skills within our life skills and autistic support classroom.

My Project

These materials will help my students reach their functional skills goals and prepare them for independent living. My students are highly interested in and motivated to engage in learning opportunities that impact their daily lives. Student learning will be transformed with the addition of a portable washing machine, a cot, and other home essentials! Clothes washing and home maintenance are among the many skills we aim to teach our students. They will be able to learn and reinforce the skills required for independent living and entering the workforce.

My students will be able to gain hands-on experience within the comfort of our classroom.

We value creating meaningful lessons in between our community-based learning opportunities. My students have proven their love for learning through the implementation of our life skills cooking center. This project will help expand their interests and classroom engagement!
