Original Grant Overview
Goal
The goal of the grant is to fund our Autism Transition student based enterprise program that helps teach our students about responsibility, teamwork, life skills and vocational skills through a real life experience.
What will be done with my students
At our school my students operate a food program from our classroom where we shop, cook and sell food to our school staff members. Students take the orders and then prepare and deliver the food. Students then earn a "paycheck" at the end of each week and will be responsible for ""paying bills" and budgeting themselves money to go shopping in our classroom store as a reward. This program gives my students real life experiences that they otherwise would be unable to obtain due to some of their limitations. In our environment we are able to find a way for every student to participate to learn certain skills that they then will be able to put to use after our program in a "typical" job environment and/or their everyday life.
Benefits to my students
Our students benefit from the grant because it will allow them to practice valuable skills that will help them later on once they graduate from our program. The hope is that they learn the skills necessary to perform job duties in a typical restaurant environment where most of our students get employed as well as helping them in their everyday lives to become more independent.
Budget Narrative
The money will go to purchasing new kitchen supplies in order to make the cooking program successful as well as the start up food costs. In addition we will use the money to purchase the disposable items we use which includes gloves, hairnets, plastic ware, Styrofoam containers and cups. Lastly the money will go to buying items the students can "buy" in our class store with their "paycheck earnings". Items in the store will be things that the students are interested in such as headphones, speakers, art kits, snack items and apparel.
