The Adams Elementary School received a Community Grant from the Brown Rudnick Center for the Public Interest! The grant funds will provide iPads to support learning and engagement for students with autism.
Michelle Lamacchia, the Autism Strand Specialist at the school describes: "We requested the iPads because they are highly motivating and effective in increasing student engagement.
