My Project

I am a Special Education Teacher that teaches students with multiple and severe disabilities. My students are non-mobile, non-verbal, and have severe cognitive disabilities. My students love to listen to read alouds and really enjoy the stories. I am in need of a bookshelf where students are able to visually see a variety of books to choose from. I believe this will enhance their joy for books and create more independence in their choosing a book.

My students are so deserving of this.

Reading stories brings them such happiness, that I think this will only enhance their current love for stories.
