My Project
All of my students have limited social skills and significant language deficits in expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language skills. My students are often frustrated because they cannot communicate their needs and wants. They often struggle to keep up with the other students because they do not speak and cannot participate in the same ways. I work tremendously hard to expose them to as many experiences within my means.
My students are diagnosed with intellectual disability and autism.
They learn and respond positively to a visual and kinesthetic curriculum that allows them to practice their skills repeatedly.
I am requesting balance ball seats, bubbles, and other sensory-friendly hands-on materials for math and reading. Students will have access to these materials to help them be calm and engaged in lessons.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
