Although Mother's Day won't be for another week I swooped up this card today, created by the stationers at one of my high schools. These students in a program for students with autism have been making and selling seasonal cards during this school year, to practice fine motor, decision-making, sequence following and entrepreneurship!
An "adapted" card? Well, it was originally designed for a mom of a human child and I needed it to reflect a mom of a sweet puppy. So--just add one more custom cut-out; easy-peasy.
As time goes on I find out about more and more classes for students in special education who use in-school businesses to learn and practice academic and vocational skills--making artisan soaps, sugar scrubs, fancy coffees, potato bars, wreaths, dog grooming. What about your schools?

Please share positive ideas for helping students in public schools. Use other blogs and listservs for venting or discussing anything other than ideas for helping students, school staff and parents. Thanks.
