About the Program:
My goal for our garden is to increase my students with autism spectrum disorders and/or intellectual disabilities as independence as possible. While increasing the students' independence, the students will also learn agricultural skills for future employment, life skills,social skills, and science about plants. The students will harvest the fruits and vegetables they grow and use them for cooking lessons. Another goal for the garden is to provide fruits and vegetables for our school's cafeteria.
