My Project

(Cricut for Special Needs Class):

This project includes tools and materials designed to support creative, accessible, and hands-on learning experiences for students with special needs, centered around the use of a Cricut machine.

The Cricut machine (such as the Cricut Explore or Maker) will allow us to create customized visual aids, communication tools, and hands-on learning materials. This technology enables the creation of individualized supports that meet diverse learning needs, especially for students who benefit from visual and tactile learning.

Vinyl, cardstock, and fabric will be used to make items such as communication boards, sensory visuals, behavior charts, and classroom labels. These materials offer a multisensory approach that supports students with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences.

Adaptive tools and easy-grip accessories will ensure all students, including those with limited motor skills, can take part in activities. These tools build independence and support physical development.

Pencil grip correctors are also included to support fine motor skills and handwriting development. These correctors help students with proper finger placement, making writing more comfortable and improving control. This is especially helpful for students with motor delays or difficulties with pencil grasp.

Safety scissors and protective mats provide a safe environment for cutting and crafting, ensuring all students can participate without risk.

Storage and organization supplies will help keep these materials accessible and easy to use, reducing classroom clutter and supporting students who thrive in structured environments.

Instructional guides and visual schedules created with the Cricut will offer clarity and routine, helping students follow along with lessons and daily transitions.

Each of these resources plays a key role in creating a classroom that is inclusive, engaging, and responsive to the needs of students with special needs. They help build confidence, foster independence, and make learning both fun and accessible.
