My Students
I have an amazing group of students and most have a great desire to learn. Unfortunately, my students face some significant challenges. I teach special education in a small school with limited resources. This grant targets my students with Autism and behavior related disabilities to help them calm down before outbursts or explosions occur.
My students have challenges ranging from Learning disabilities to Autism.
Despite the challenges, we face we are determined to build on student strengths to find success in each of their educations. Our unique challenges make us stronger.
My Project
My classroom has a large number of students with Autism, Significant Behavior disorders, and behavior-related disabilities. Having a place to cool down is important to calm the storm in their mind when agitation or anxiety reach their peak. The Stress relieving toys will be in a child's cool down location, and having Alexa just a voice command away to get some calm music or nature sounds will help me focus on the situations that arise. The headphones will just help create a quieter classroom as other kids are completing their work on the tablets. Please help me in creating a peaceful atmosphere to calm the storm in these challenging moments.
