My Project

The special education classrooms in our district have very little funding to support social skills curriculum. The SPOT books will be a great addition to my school library and will be used in my social groups and others social groups within the building.

Donating to this project will make a significant impact on the lives of 40-50 special education students, as well as many regular educations students from low-income households.

It will allow me the opportunity to support classroom teachers, helping them to support their students in the ways they need to be supported.
