Update: found it's new home at the Rich Center for Autism

I have a 4 ft Lite Brite with colored pegs I made Hannah a few years ago that she does not use anymore. It still works perfect. I don't want it to go to waste as I put a lot of hard work and love into it. I would really want to donate this to go to a school that specializes in children with Autism in their sensory room. Autism will always have a special place in our 💕 and I think the kids would really enjoy this and teaches gross motor skills. I also have some other things I will include, stability balls, 2 brand new weighted blankets, noise cancelling headphones door alarms, and sensory toys all

I also have a 7 hole putt putt course I made if you have the space for it, it's yours as well. It is only for indoor use or can be taken outdoors but not in the rain.

You can message me or comment here you would just have to pick it up in my Salem home. Please only schools we have not donated to before.

I have 2 garbage bags full of new sensory toys and aids as well as sensory bags, VR glasses, sequin boards, stability balls, wobble pads. I want to make sure that they go to a "local" school that specializes in Autism in Mahoning and Columbiana counties. I would prefer they be broken up into 2 or 3 schools so each schools gets equal amounts. They are free but you must message me on here to setup a date and time to pick it up at my house in Salem.
