The item with the most impact has been the mirror. I can provide verbal feedback all day long; however, being able to give my kids visual feedback has been extremely beneficial. The kids have loved playing with the new games received in the package. Being able to give the kids a motive to participate in therapy sessions has been great. \r\n\r\nIn the original order, some items were unavailable, and I was able to add a laminator to my project. This has helped so much. I have been able to create materials for my nonverbal students. I look forward to the continued use of the items received by my current and future students.

Students were thrilled when they saw the new materials, especially the Where's Waldo? books. They immediately began flipping through the pages together, calling out clues and working as a team to find each character. These shared moments have encouraged collaboration, communication, and problem-solving in such a fun and natural way.\r\n\r\n Students will use the puzzle books to strengthen attention to detail, and the carpet circles will provide comfortable personal spaces during group discussions and reading workshops.
