I teach 9 students with special needs. They each have multiple disabilities ranging from moderate to severe. Each one of my kiddos have difficulty in learning, but they CAN learn... they just need to be taught in a way they can understand. We use a lot of visuals and communication devices to aid in this process. Despite their challenges, they are still held to high expectations in class. These requested items will provide them practice with their individual educational plan goals and will help them develop and improve their fine motor skills. It will be a delight for ALL! I cannot wait to show them all the amazing things they will enjoy for years to come. Good-bye worksheets and tears... Hello fun learning!
