I am a High School Special Education teacher working in an IPR (In Program Resource program. My students are all Learning Disabled and ADHD and/or on the Autism Spectrum. Students who come to the class lack Organizational and Time Management skills. Because of this they tend to fall behind when they have to complete assignments, tests/quizzes, and projects just to name a few because they are overwhelmed with all the work assigned in High School.
They would greatly benefit from standing desks and stools, head sets to listen to audio books, and videos to enhance that which is being taught in academic classes (especially for my visual students who learn better when they see what is being taught not just read and answer questions.
We could also use new charts for Math, English, History that could be placed on walls and the bulletin boards so students could go up to them and visually see information needed to complete assignment.
My Project
Teaching High School students with ADHD/ADD and Behavior Disorders I have found they need constant movement in the classroom to achieve task success. Wobble seats would help by allowing them to lightly bounce while working and not having to constantly walk around the classroom and having to restart work with the possibility on not completing their assignments.
The Spanish Chart will help improve their foreign language skills by being allowed to look at the chart on the bulletin boards and completing tasks that way.
All my students have individual needs to achieve success and these items would help tremendously achieve that goal.
