This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

For students with autism, having visual aids like lanyards and name tags can be incredibly helpful, especially when venturing out into the community on field trips. These simple tools serve as a vital safety measure, allowing teachers, chaperones, and other caregivers to easily identify and recognize the student. The lanyard, with the student's name and photo, helps ensure that if the child were to become separated from the group, they could be quickly and easily reunited.

Students with Autism may struggle to express their thoughts, needs, and emotions through traditional verbal means, leaving them feeling frustrated and isolated However, the incorporation of visual aids can be a transformative tool in supporting the development and empowerment of these individuals Visual supports, such as picture symbols, communication boards, and assistive technology, provide a tangible and intuitive way for non-verbal autistic children to convey their messages These visual cues not only facilitate effective communication, but also help to reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and foster a greater sense of independence By pairing verbal language with corresponding visual representations, non-verbal autistic children can build a bridge between their internal experiences and the external world, enabling them to engage more meaningfully with their environment and the people around them.

Furthermore, the use of visuals can enhance the learning process, helping these children to better comprehend and retain information by appealing to their strong visual processing skills. As caregivers, educators, and therapists work to create tailored visual support systems, they empower non-verbal autistic individuals to overcome communication barriers, express their unique perspectives, and flourish in a world that may not always accommodate their needs.
