My Project

Children in special education programs face unique challenges in communication, literacy, and cognitive development. Children can be non-verbal and traditional teaching methods aren’t always best. Research has shown that assistive technology, such as iPads, can enhance learning by providing interactive, multi sensory engagement. Getting this project funded would directly address this need by providing an iPads to support individualized learning plans and promote student success. The iPads would be utilized for educational apps, reading support, and interactive lessons tailored to individual learning needs. The iPad will also help when it comes to tracking students' progress.

iPads can be powerful tools for both diverse learners and special education teachers .

Additionally, built-in accessibility features like speech-to-text and audio recordings can help students with different activities and help teachers document student performance more efficiently while accommodating diverse learning needs. Many apps allow teachers to collect data in real-time, track student progress on individualized goals, and generate reports with ease. Digital portfolios, graphing tools, and customizable checklists make it simple to record observations and measure student growth over time.
