My Students
Located in New York City, the majority of our students at our elementary school are from low income/poverty level socioeconomic backgrounds. Most of our students qualify for free school lunch and many receive support from other community programs. We also have a high rate of students who come from various cultures, including Haitian Creole, Spanish, and Arabic speaking households, and present at school as English language learners.
Most of my students are enrolled in substantially separate special education classrooms.
I have students with a broad range of disabilities ranging from non-verbal, delayed language, severe articulation disorders, and immature social skills. They carry various diagnoses such as developmental delay, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Cleft Palate, Learning Disabilities, Emotional Disturbances, Attention Deficit Disorders, cognitive impairments, language based difficulties and stuttering disorders.
My Project
The use of iPad technology in my therapy sessions will target a multitude of communication goals based on the needs of each specific child.
For the non verbal child, it will help them to use picture symbols to communicate their wants and needs with the outside world.
For the language delayed child, it will help them have a tactile experience when learning basic concepts and vocabulary to better help them function in the classroom.
For the speech impaired child, it will help them to practice their articulation drills in an exciting manner that will keep up their motivation.
For the learning disabled child, this simplified version of technology will help them access the world to complete research projects in math and science.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
