My Students

I teach a variety of students with disabilities. Their disabilities range from autism spectrum, emotional disturbance, ADHD, and severe anxiety as well as specific learning disabilities. My students are on many different levels of learning. Special education teachers are expected to help our students be successful in the general education classroom without the tools needed to do so. Our school is in a city with a lot of support from the community. However our technology is lacking compared to districts around us.

My Project

Students on the autism spectrum are ones who do not like to write due to their perfectionist mindset. Most of the time they prefer to type their assignments, but do not have access to the proper technology. The computers I have available to my students are outdated, bulky, and run slow. Many of my students would be more successful with educational apps available to them on the chrome books to help close the gaps of their actual and performance levels. With your donation my students would be able to take the chrome books to class and be more successful in the general education classrooms.
