Help me give my students on the autism spectrum, many of whom are of low income, best practice occupational therapy in a public school so that they can access their education and live their best lives!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kopman's classroom raised $288

Celebrating 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 Project
Hi! I'm an occupational therapist at a public school. I need your help so that I can help my students (K-8th Grade) get the therapy service that they deserve. My students require intensive sensory-based therapy so that they can access learning, transition, and participate in all school routines. Students that I provide therapy to have multiple diagnoses and, therefore, severe needs.
Our swing base broke last year after more than 15+ years of use.
Helping us acquire this swing base will allow multiple therapists to provide therapy to many students. This durable equipment will be used for many years to come.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
