Hi! I’m Jenn, a SPED transition teacher in Dallas, TX working with students 18–22 with significant disabilities. We learn life skills, job readiness, and independence. I’m also a proud mama to my son River 💙

If you’re able to grab even one item — thank you.

From the bottom of my heart — and from the hearts of my students who are working so hard to build their futures.

My Amazon wishlist isn’t trendy.

It’s not decorations or gadgets.

It’s real tools for real life:
🧠 Visual supports
🥄 Measuring cups
🧼 Cleaning supplies
🧺 Food containers
💬 Communication tools
🌈 Sensory items

I’ve been doing this work for over 15 years — now in a Title 1 public school in Dallas, TX.

My classroom runs on love, creativity, and flexibility — but also on the generosity of others.

We don’t prepare for standardized tests.

We prepare for life:
🥘 How to cook
🚌 How to take the bus
🗣️ How to speak up
🛑 How to stay safe
📣 How to advocate in a world that doesn’t always accommodate their needs.

When students age out, entitlement ends.

Entitlement = guaranteed services in public education.

Eligibility = proving you qualify — often through waitlists, red tape, and systems that leave families without help.
