My Project

As a dedicated special education teacher, I work with incredible students on the autism spectrum who inspire me every day with their resilience, creativity, and potential. My goal is to provide them with the tools and resources they need to thrive in a supportive, sensory-friendly classroom environment.

Many of my students benefit from specialized materials such as sensory tools (flexible seating, visual stimuli, physical stimuli) in order to help them stay focused, calm, and engaged.

Unfortunately, these essential items often fall outside of standard classroom budgets.

With your generous support, I can create a space that meets my students’ unique needs and empowers them to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to making a lasting difference in their education and their lives.

Thank you for believing in the potential of every child.
