My Project

This is my first year teaching and although I have been a behavior technician in the public school system for over 10 years this will be the first year that I lead a classroom. I am very excited, and I am asking for your help to make sure we have the tools we need in order for our 9 students to flourish in our classroom. While typical general education classrooms may need similar items, special education classrooms build their environments unique to each learner. Your donation will help our learners thrive.
