Students with learning disorders like Autism and ADHD often have a hard time focusing on individual learning activities in an engaging classroom environment. Students need to be able to focus on their individual computerized assignments without the distraction of listening to the rest of the class listen to their own. We all have different ways of learning, and some students are able to do their work more efficiently when they are able to block out the distractions around them. Our students enjoy using technology in class. We utilize a three-group rotation with one station often being an independent computer based station. While students are working here, they can sometimes be easily distracted by other teaching going on in the classroom. Having these headphones would help my students listen to their assignments, have websites read out loud to them, and block out some of the distractions so they can successfully complete their own work. The toolbox will be used to store headphones and allow for easy relocation of headphones when they are not needed for an activity.
