My coworker bought a toner cartridge last week. All of my OT co-workers buy all of the supplies for their weekly activities. I buy lots of screws and small items to fix kids wheelchairs or broken classroom toys, tools for my teachers, etc. Last year i bought a $50 cot to serve as a portable changing table for field trips. New admin threw it away over the summer, along with thousands of dollars worth of equipment, because they didn’t know what it was and didn’t bother to ask.

Changing table? Either you teach infants or you work in a very special needs position.
Special needs age 3 to 22.
You’re a saint. Be proud of what you do.
