Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

Providing a range of resources and organization materials can significantly enhance the learning experience for kids with autism. Sensory-friendly materials help stay engaged,focused attention,improved fluency and regulated during reading instruction time.One of the difficulties that kids with autism have is the change of schedule/routine/activity. In order to lessen the frustration and tantrums, we have several ways to prevent this from happening. Visual schedules, labeled bins and color-coded folders/tubs/bins with their names, in their specific location can provide structure and routine to reduce anxiety and supporting transitions throughout the school day. Altogether these resources create an inclusive and supportive environment where autism kids can develop literacy skills at their own pace while building confidence and independence.
