Tools for Schools

Phases of Autism knows that it is crucial to the autistic community that help is being stretched out to them. We need money to help more teachers obtain supplies for our children. These supplies are expensive , but necessary. We are a 501c3 organization and giving the tools is the first phase of what we do. This will be done annually, every August. Dianne Forsh is the CEO and Alexandria Forsh is the CO-Owner. We both have taught autistic individuals and have 5 people in our family diagnosed with autism. Our lives have been dedicated to advocating for autism over three decades and now we are asking that others donate to the cause. We need you to help provide the supplies that these schools and daycare centers need to help our children succeed and become more inclusive in society.

Do you remember the commercial “Where’s the Beef?” Teachers are asking “Where’s the Money?” Not money for their salary, but money to help buy supplies for the students they teach every day. When it comes to autistic children, their numbers are increasing each year. It is not fair for the teachers to have to come out of pocket, while receiving such a low income.

Kemp allotted $125 dollars twice during Covid. Teachers, according to research, spend from $500 to $1000 yearly just on supplies for their classroom(Chokshi, 2018). Despite the low salary, teachers continue to purchase supplies for their classroom. Classes for autistic children are growing and so are the supplies needed to assure that they receive the quality of education they deserve.

Any help for the teacher is a benefit to our children. We need you to help provide the supplies that these schools and daycare centers need to help our children succeed and become more inclusive in society. If you would like to contribute, send to pay pal under phasesofautism21.com.
