My Project

I love Working with the Adult Special needs students in the School District of Philadelphia Transition program. We assist students to access real work experiences within the school community. We will use these supplies to mimic office and Cleaning jobs for our Severely Impaired students who can't travel out to worksites. We will use the shredders to work on individual clerical skills and to mimic office skills. We will use the gloves and brooms to clean our school cafeteria. I support 4 High Schools on a weekly basis these supplies will be split up equally among the classrooms.
