The materials I've requested fall into two main categories: communication devices and items for sensory needs. The style of interactive books I've chosen is excellent for both nonverbal and general education students. They are simple stories with Velcro components, so students can make requests, comment, or ask questions either through the Velcro pictures or verbally. The books range in topic from simple and complex Wh- questions to a book about feelings. Some requested titles include What Do I Say?, What's It For?, I Have Feelings Too, and What Happened And Why. I'm passionate about teaching social communication skills in all my sessions, so the more interactive tools I can have with discussing emotions, the better! That's why I've also included photo conversion cards to help children with autism learn conversation skills. Many of my students in special education are non-verbal, so I've also requested a switch and GoTalk device. These are simple electronics where the students press one button to make a comment, such as "help," "more," or "I want ____." These devices can be the difference between a child not being able to communicate and one who can comment on his or her needs, wants, and the environment. Finally, I've also requested weighted items and Gel-E-Seats to help both my Special Ed and Gen Ed students focus on learning and less on fidgeting and stimming behaviors. Even one object, such as a weighted small lap pad, can help a student feel present in the moment and offer a certain amount of security in their body. Thank you!
