Ms. Atkinson from San Francisco CA is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Sensory Supports the Learning!

My students need an Ultra-Short Throw Projector to help them with their sensory learning needs! Being able to touch, point to and circle items projected onto the white board is immeasurably beneficial to my students!

My Students

I love how my students enter the class with purpose. They put their backpacks away and relax into the structure and routine. They check the daily schedule, explore the morning activities, and greet their teachers. They are excited, curious, and ready to see what the day will bring.

Although having autism can make the typically developing world difficult to navigate, my students show up each day and try the hard things needed to participate and learn.

Every one of my students adds unique strengths to our school. Their smiles, energy, and talents make my classroom very full of life.

My Project

My amazing class of 3rd-5th-grade students with autism come excited to learn each day. Most of them are non-verbal, and so being able to project onto a whiteboard where they are able to touch, tap, point and circle greatly help them. The sensory input of being able to look at and touch the objects they are learning about.

It gives my students a window into learning that they would not otherwise have.

Regular classroom projectors don't allow my students to stand in front of the board to process and learn. An Ultra-Short Throw Projector would let the kids get up and get involved in their learning on our whiteboard. This would be so wonderful for my students!
