My Students

This is a project to help support the Low Incidence classrooms at Wilbur Wright School. There are multiple classrooms at Wilbur Wright to support our scholars with multiple disabilities/students with Autism in grades kindergarten to eighth grade. Our students have a wide variety of abilities, strengths, and challenges. In our classrooms, we focus on individualized, hands on, and community based learning. This year, we are faced with the unique challenge of remote learning during this global pandemic. Our goal is to get manipulatives and materials to the homes of our scholars to help support their remote learning experience. Our scholars love using a variety of sensory items and activities in order to help them to maintain focus and learn to self-regulate. We also focus on social-emotional learning, functional life skills and functional academic skills in our classrooms in order to help scholars reach their highest potential across all areas of life and in their communities!

My Project

The Low Incidence teachers at our school would like to provide our students with special needs the basic materials that they need in order to learn best at home during remote instruction. In these unprecedented times, many parents face financial hardships which makes it challenging to purchase even basic school supplies. Our students learn best using hands-on materials that provide interactive opportunities to engage in their instruction. Providing our students with manipulatives and basic materials to have at home will help create more meaningful learning. For example, the use of dry erase boards throughout live instruction will afford our nonverbal students the opportunity to respond and engage. The linking cubes will assist with our specially designed, hands-on math instruction by providing our learners with the necessary manipulatives to problem solve.
