My Project

I work with special education students of all ages and cognitive levels. Each of my students are supported in a specialized program for students with challenging behaviors. We strive to teach our students how to engage with their peers appropriately and teach the social skills they need for their homeroom classes.

Please help us give our students the opportunity to learn skills needed for team-based sports, using new sports equipment specifically for them.

We will use our physical education time to enrich their social skills through sports and team play.
