I teach children that are severe and profound. We learn through different multi-sensory modalities. Our motto is, if you go home clean, then you didn't learn. After all, how can you be a rockstar if at the end of the day you don't look the part! My student work on functional skills and are learning to explore their environment. The materials I have chosen help in our daily lessons. Students are most engaged when their lessons included textures, colors and smells. All lessons are functional based and specific for each student. It' aways best practice to have lessons/activities that are done in class be repeated at home to help with generalizing skills. By having enough materials at home and at school benefit my students in continual learning. These materials not only provide multi-sensory stimulus but we are able to incorporate and support Speech/Language goals, Physical and Occupational goals and Visions goals. Students use different communication devices to request materials, we place materials in locations where they have to practice their physical therapy goals and each child is given the time to manipulate the materials supporting their occupational goals. All lessons require eye hand coordination and modifications are implemented for our students to be successful. Every day is full of color and laughter. You can imagine that we go through certain materials like water. You may see that I requested colored folders. These folder represent different lessons. Every child has a visual schedule that incorporates every activity through out the day. These folders are where we place their work. Because our children are learning to navigate on their own and are learning to be independent learners, folder at times get torn or damaged. These folders are easy to manipulate for our kiddos.
