</div>
<div>I am in need of your generosity. (The photos above show my classroom shelves my first day at work.) I am teaching in a Tier 1 NYC school serving families at or below the poverty line.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I teach in a kindergarten AIMS (Acquisition, Integrated Services, Meaningful Communication, and Social Skills) program that serves students with atypical, intellectual, language, and social-emotional development who are diagnosed with Autism. My students do not have typical language skills, although they can make vocalizations. They have a difficult time with self-regulation and meeting the social and emotional challenges of a kindergarten classroom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The AIMS classroom has 6 students, 2 teachers, and one paraprofessional, providing instruction that focuses on language acquisition and social and emotional self-regulation. A speech therapist serves as the second teacher in the classroom, supporting language and communication goals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The program hopes to move students from a 6:2:1 class (6 students, 2 teachers, 1 paraprofessional) to a 12:1:1 class and onward to a general education Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) class in later years. AIMS started just before COVID and has a proven track record of helping students develop the skills necessary for successful inclusion in less restrictive educational settings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to the costliness of the program with three adults in the classroom, <strong>supplies that are needed are often not provided or provided in insufficient quantities and/or poor unusable quality.</strong> Teachers frequently supplement classroom materials from their own funds to ensure students have access to the hands-on, sensory-rich learning tools essential for their success.
