All of my students are diagnosed with profound autism and are in my self-contained program specifically designed for them. Due to the severity of the disability and the number of students that I am serving, the need for these materials has never been greater. I am struggling to meet their needs due to a shortage of supplies that our district will not provide. The students all have extremely high needs academically, socially, and behaviorally. At this time, I supply almost 100% of the materials I use with the students. Our district has very little in its budget and therefore I cannot get all of the supplies I need to help our students in all facets of their education. The supplies requested will support the needs of our students and I am hoping to be able to give them everything I can to facilitate their learning!
My au-some students need proper materials in order to get the education they deserve!
In working closely with the other professionals that services our students, we know that the consistent practice requiring fine motor skills improves not only the specific skills on which they are working, but also the skills that allow them to enhance their levels of independence in the areas of self-help skills, writing skills, cutting skills, etc., all of which are serious struggles for my kiddos. The Busy Boards, Learning to Dress Boards, and Latches Boards all assist in these areas. Additionally, the books requested will enhance our social skills and reading groups/lessons. Finally, the office supplies will allow me to maintain an environment in which the students are supported and cared for.
I truly couldn't make this a reality without your support! Thank you so much!
