My Project

Our special education students thrive when learning is hands-on, engaging, and meaningful. To support their speech/language and occupational therapy goals this year, we are seeking a collection of books, games, and multi-sensory learning materials that encourage exploration, communication, and active participation.

Many of our learners need targeted support in areas such as expressive/receptive language skills, fine motor coordination, and sensory regulation.

High-interest books will help build vocabulary, comprehension, and storytelling skills. Interactive games will motivate students to practice turn-taking, problem-solving, and functional communication. Tactile and manipulable materials will strengthen fine motor abilities, promote sensory exploration, and support independence in school activities.

With your support, we can create a rich, motivating therapy environment where students are encouraged to explore, communicate, and grow. These resources will not only help them meet their individualized goals but also build confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning. Thank you for helping our students find success through meaningful and joyful therapy experiences.
