Playful Bridges: Inclusive Play for All Abilities

Help me give my students the opportunity to communicate and engage in play with their non-disabled peers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Souza's classroom raised $1,035

This project is fully funded

My Project

"Inclusive Play for All Abilities" aims to create an environment where my special needs students can play together, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance with their non-disabled peers. By providing playground equipment such as scooters, basketball hoops, balls, jump ropes, and even a Kindle for interactive and inclusive activities, my students with special needs can engage in play alongside their non-disabled peers. This approach not only promotes physical activity and social interaction but also facilitates communication and understanding among all children, regardless of their abilities. The goal is to create an inclusive space where everyone feels valued and included, promoting empathy, friendship, and shared experiences.
