As a teacher of students with special needs, each one of them requires a different set of tools and levels of motivation to reach their full potential and express themselves. In spite of the obstacles and hurdles that each of my students overcome, they all have an area that grabs their interest and opens their minds. Whether one student is a more hands-on learner who benefits from tactile interactions and another needs to visualize the information being presented to them, all of my students will find new ways to connect to the world through opportunities given to them in my classroom!
