Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Kentucky recently awarded a $5,000 grant to Redwood in support of Redwood’s Early Childcare Program, which serves children both with and without disabilities.
The grant has enabled Redwood to purchase new program supplies such as books, batteries, teaching supplies, and assistive technology devices for children with disabilities.
Such devices are quite costly, but can be an excellent teaching tool for children with disabilities, and also provide a way for non-verbal children to communicate through speech communication apps.
A portion of the grant will be used toward scholarships for low-income children to attend Redwood.
Redwood’s mission to provide enriching educational services to children and adults with disabilities aligns with Toyota’s national corporate giving program, which focuses on, among other areas, charitable giving to organizations providing educational services.
