My Students

My students have severe disabilities but still participate in a regular high school setting.

They work on social skills, life skills, and positive behavior interventions.

My amazing students need extra supports to help them stay focused in the classroom environment.

My Project

Students with special needs struggle from the effects of

COVID-19.

Their ability to focus and stay on a routine has been interrupted. I am now reteaching mental skills like staying focused and on task. I also need to make learning fun and engaging in order to keep their interest. When they are engaged, I get their best performance from them. These games and fidget tools will help each student stay focused during lessons and social interactions. COVID-19 has also affected the way my students interact socially, and we can use these items to get them back on track.
