Support for Classroom That Serves Students With Severe Emotional Disabilities

Help me give my students the support they need. They have many social, emotional, and academic needs that must be met daily. These items will help them be more organized, motivated, and secure in their learning.

My Project

Thank you for your consideration in helping my students! This middle school classroom is specifically designed to serve students with Severe Emotional Disabilities. The students in this classroom have 1-to-1 assistance on a daily basis, and we need certain items to help them stay focused and motivated to go to class. In addition, these items help them regulate their emotions and bodies.

We have made so many improvements to the classroom this year, but these are the everyday items we see being needed for our Paw Store.

The Paw Store is where they can buy items with points they have earned. Some other items may also be used during break times, such as snacks and coloring, or during free time, which is earned and awarded for positive reinforcement/behavior and their academic excellence. The systems and structure of our program is so important for our students, as it provides a safe and predictable environment for them. Thanks again for your support!
