My Project

In our K–2 special education resource classroom, students face challenges such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities. To support their growth, I am requesting engaging, hands-on learning games that build both reading and social-emotional skills. These games will be used during small group instruction, where students receive targeted, individualized support in a structured setting. The games will help reinforce phonics, vocabulary, emotional regulation, and cooperative play. By combining academic and SEL support in a fun, interactive way, these tools will help my students build confidence, connect with peers, and develop a love for learning.
