Introduction
Hello, and welcome to my PSA about my Capstone Project entitled Special Kids with Special Needs. My project involves working with kids who have special needs such as a learning disability or mental disabilities. I am currently working with a non-profit organization Dios y Libros.........
Bullet Points
• The non-profit organization I will be working with is called Dios y Libros
• Dios y Libros sends books to schools in 3rd world countries to schools that cannot afford reading material for their students
• Mexico can still be considered a 3rd world country today
• A school in Queretaro, Mexico is dedicated to children who have disabilities, such as a learning ability, or autism do not have the funds to buy school supplies or books for the children
• Mexico only has schools for special needs kids in large cities such as Mexico City
• The Mexican government hasn’t set up any special needs schools for kids with disabilities in small cities or towns
• Twenty-seven million children that attend school in Mexico, ten percent have disabilities
• In resent studies, researchers have found that students with learning disabilities learn the material taught in the classroom when presented visually to them
• In another study, researchers found that reading was one of the harder subjects to understand, but with books to read the material was easier for students with learning disabilities to understand the material.
• Since reading has been scientifically proven to help a child with disabilities to improve their learning abilities it is critical that we donate books to the school that cannot afford books themselves
• The end project will concise of a library filled with Spanish books in a school that is dedicated to teaching special kids with special needs.

Capstone Project: Special Kids with Special Needs
Script
Children with special needs that live in Mexico are unable to receive a proper education because the education does not fit their needs, or regular schools won’t allow them to enroll in their school merely because they feel like their staff and school are ill equipped to meet their needs. Many schools are unequipped to meet the needs of special needs children because they do not have enough money to spend on books to help further their education or for them to learn how to read Spanish and English. The solution to the problem is simple, by sending Spanish or bilingual books to schools that teach special needs children in order for them to learn how to read or further their education. Education falls under the supervision of the government and since the Mexican government already has trouble giving children a proper education and some schools have limited school supplies, it is harder for special needs children to get the education they deserve; but donating Spanish books to a school in Queretaro, Mexico that is dedicated to special needs children puts a step forward to helping children get a better education. The end project will concise of a library filled with Spanish books in a school that is dedicated to teaching special kids with special needs.
