My Students

All of my students have severe mental, physical, and developmental disabilities. The majority of the students within my school will graduate and go on to work at an adult activity workshop. My students really need learning materials to help them prepare for the workforce.

My students are between the ages of 10-16.

Our school services students with the most profound disabilities within our county. My students love school. They love social interaction and they love to learn. My students are so inspiring. It is amazing to watch my students overcome so many obstacles and achieve independence and self-esteem.

My Project

These sorting sets that I am requesting will be used by my students and many future students. My students need to learn how to sort objects into categories, color, size, etc. Learning how to sort will help my students obtain employment at the adult activity workshop that they will attend after graduation. My students need hands-on materials to keep them interested with the task on hand.

My students need a variety of sorting learning materials to help them get used to all of the different sorting tasks that they will encounter as adults.

We promise we will use these materials every single school day. Please help us out! These learning materials are critical to our future. That you so much for your assistance in helping us achieve our goals.
