Engaging Autism Curriculum

Help me give my students a curriculum to meet all of their varied learning needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sakalosky's classroom raised $804

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of my students are on the autism spectrum which makes assessing curriculum difficult. All of my students needs are different, no two are the same. These resources will allow them to learn in ways that meet their needs and learning goals. Our Students are all working towards grade level standards, with modifications and accommodations. These materials will allow them to gain skills in literacy and math in ways that meet their unique learning styles and needs. Our goals this year are enhancing literacy and math in meaningful ways. COVID interrupted their hands on learning engagement and these materials can assist in getting them where they need to be, while also being interactive and engaging. My students vary in need and age so many different learning materials are needed daily to allow them access to an engaging leaning environment.
