Help me give my students the goal of independence. These materials will help them learn very important daily living skills. They will be able to learn to sort using the cards and organize school materials.
My students are inspired by many different things. I try to find different creative ways to help keep them motivated to participate in each and every day.
I teach a 6:1:1 class of students with autism in a middle school for students with special needs in New York City.
My students use routine and structure to help them throughout the day. Many of them are visual learners who thrive on independent work. They are highly motivated by positive feedback and incentives.
My Project
My students need the opportunity to independently be able to do many different things in their lives. They unfortunately do not always get this chance.
With this project, I hope to give my students the ability to work on materials repeatedly at their own pace with motivating work that both engages and fosters independence.
This project gives them items that they would want to work with and helps them maintain their skills throughout the school day. They will learn valuable skills such as sorting and organizing and these materials will give them the areas to work at. We will use the dresser and crates to help practice sorting and daily living skills. The table and button maker will help create vocational skills. We will use the pvc cards to create a work area that resembles store and organizing gift cards.
