Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our preschool program serves a diverse and low-income community in California. Our students qualify for special education services due to a variety of difficulties or delays in their development and learning. Many of our families could greatly benefit from additional support especially during this time of significant socio-economic hardship.

My Project

Help support young students who attend our special education preschool program with materials that families can utilize for home programs to further support motor development, learning, and play.

Our team of occupational therapists work with students, teachers, and families who qualify for special education services.

This fundraising program is intended to create home program kits for preschoolers to help families provide opportunities at home to address their special education goals (i.e. improve play skills, pre-writing skills, eye-hand coordination).

The supplies we have chosen would target and encourage activities related to motor development and coordination. We hope that during this time of need with distance learning due to COVID-19, families will have the support they need for their children to continue to build skills and independence.
