My Project

In my role as an adapted physical education teacher in a self-contained school, I work with individuals who have diverse disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and developmental delays. Students in my school range from 3 years old-22 years old. Ensuring that every student can access and engage with lessons meaningfully is a top priority for me. The equipment I have selected for this project is designed to adapt and modify instruction, making learning more accessible, interactive, and enjoyable for all students.

The items I have chosen will allow me to tailor lessons to meet the unique needs of my students, providing them with the tools necessary to succeed.

Adaptive technology, such as, interactive switches, and voice-output communication tools, will help students with physical and verbal limitations participate more actively in classroom activities.

The primary goal of this project is to ensure that every student, regardless of their disability, has equitable access to learning opportunities. By implementing adaptive tools and technology, I aim to create an inclusive classroom/gym environment where students feel empowered and excited to participate. I want to remove barriers that may hinder engagement and provide my students with the necessary supports to build confidence in their abilities.

Another key goal is to foster independence and self-expression. Many of my students rely on alternative methods of communication and learning. By introducing assistive technology, I hope to give them more autonomy in their educational journey, helping them develop critical skills that will serve them beyond the classroom.

In summary, the equipment selected for this project will play a crucial role in creating an inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning environment. My ultimate goal is to ensure that all students have the tools they need to thrive in the gym and in life, helping them reach their fullest potential.
