Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
We are a specialized high school with students that participate in alternative assessment, and are on the autism spectrum or diagnosed with a developmental disability, requiring a smaller ratio class setting. Our site provides both academic and Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) aligned transition curriculum and services focused on the development of vocational skills, community-based learning, self-care, and independent living skills. As an occupational therapist, I work on improving the students' functional skills through a large variety of sensory-motor, cognitive, visual/perceptual, and self-help activities.
My Project
A Cricut machine will be a tool used to teach our students both leisure and potential vocational skills. They can work on making decals, signs, etc. The karaoke machine would be used to get our kids up dancing, singing, and socializing with each other. It would be an amazing tool that could be used throughout our site routinely. Since Covid, we have been looking for unique ways to work on transition and self-management skills with our students. A Cricut and karaoke machine would be the perfect addition to our site!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
