Attention Autism

We are working on launching Attention Autism sessions—a fun, high-energy program designed to capture and build the attention of our autistic learners. To make this a success, we need your help! We are looking for "Cause and Effect" toys. These are toys where a simple action (like pressing a button) creates an immediate, exciting result (like lights, music, or movement). They are essential for teaching our children how their actions affect the world around them.

We are looking for donations of:

• light-up and musical toys, such as pop-up boxes, light-up spinning tops, or musical buttons

• action toys, such as Marble runs, wind-up toys, or "stomp rockets"

• sensory items such as, bubble machines

If you have any of these gathering dust at home, please consider donating them to us as they will help our students develop vital skills like curiosity and joint attention.

We are also hoping to launch Lego-Based Therapy sessions!

This isn't just about playing with lego; it's a social skills intervention where students work in teams as "Engineers," "Suppliers," and "Builders" to complete a project.

This therapy helps our students improve their communication, turn-taking, and teamwork in a way that feels like play rather than work.

We are in need of standard Lego bricks (not Duplo). We aren't necessarily looking for complete sets - loose bricks and baseplates, are extremely valuable for this project to be launched.

Please drop off donations at the school office.

We kindly ask that bricks are clean and genuine Lego brand to ensure they fit together properly.

Your old bricks could help a child build their confidence.

Thank you for your support.
