My Students

Most of my students are currently non ambulatory as a result of illness or injury. They are attending school in an acute rehabilitation hospital. The students are often distracted from learning because of pain, medication, sadness and anger. The children in my class are from New York and the surrounding areas. We also accept and treat children from other States and from out of this county.

My students 4 to 21 years of age are currently hospitalized for an extended period for intensive rehabilitation.

They receive medical, speech, psychological, occupational, physical and educational intervention daily while in the hospital. It is the goal to reunite students with their friends, families and home district school classmates. My kids have suffered brain injury, physical delays, cognitive and social delays as a result of accidents and illness. Students have a wide range of challenges which are a result of amputations, stroke, cancer, surgeries and other complicated life circumstances. I work for NYC DOE Hospital Schools which supports teachers in 38 NYC Hospitals. My students are warriors they fight the fight every day pushing past the pain.

My Project

As a result of traumatic Injury or illness my students have lost a considerable amount or prior academic knowledge. Your donation of basic skills tools will help me re-pattern the learning so that they can rebuilt basic skills in Math, Language arts and Social Studies. The Hot Dot flash cards allow students to learn while playing, its a way to teach basic skills while maintaining dignity.

School work with interactive hands on exploration builds positive relations with teachers and fellow patients.

Students are often emotionally inhibited when trying to return to academics, this makes it a winning situation for all.
