Special Needs Life Skills & Essentials

My students need hygiene items, food, clothing, and some appliances to learn how to independently make food at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rogers's classroom raised $685

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students all have a moderate to severe intellectual disability. Their future isn't career or college based. Their future is life skills and independent living skills based. We work daily on academics, career skills, and independent living/life skills. The most important topic is their independence and ability to care for themselves. They do not know how to clean, cook, handle hygiene, wash clothing, etc. These are all skills that many of us take for granted. These essential life skills are a focal for my students. They need to learn how to complete simple things like changing their clothing after an accident, washing their dirty clothing, making their own drink, making a simple food item or meal, and self care things like brushing teeth and flossing.

My Project

The resources requested will help my students immensely. The items

requested will help meet needs and provide opportunities to teach my students life skills.

The resources will also meet needs by providing them with clothing to wear at school in case of accidents (which happen frequently and it's to find clothes for them to wear while we wash/dry their dirty ones), food to learn to prepare at school and take home, appliances they can learn how to use and even use make simple food items and beverages (coffees, teas, lemonades, hot chocolate, etc) and also some hygiene items to use during life skills instruction.
