My Project

Autistic children often have unique learning styles characterized by a preference for visual and hands-on learning methods over traditional verbal instruction. They may excel in structured environments that provide clear routines and visual supports such as visual schedules and picture-based communication systems. Tailoring educational strategies to accommodate their sensory sensitivities and individual interests fosters a more inclusive and effective learning experience for autistic children.

The materials in this project will provide the essential hands-on and visual learning tools to accommodate my autistic learners.

Tailored teaching methods that accommodate their sensory sensitivities and preferences can enhance their learning experience and support their academic and social development.
