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 are elementary school children with special needs, some with severe and multiple disabilities. Their conditions range from severe sensory regulation deficits, motor planning deficits, impaired communication, and decreased strength and coordination. All of these deficiencies present a barrier to learning, focus, attention, and independence. These students' participation has been hindered greatly due to the current learning conditions, limited equipment, and supplies available to families.
The use of visual schedules and visual cards during instruction adds immense value to improving the students' focus, attention, and participation in learning.
The time spent with the student in addition to addressing the instructional needs is focused on giving the student a voice to express needs and wants and to create enhanced opportunities for interaction and communication.
My Project
The use of visual cards is necessary during instruction for any student with communication deficits, and most importantly during remote instruction. Using the visual schedule model, students come to the therapy session and use the cards for guided practice and to create a personalized instruction.
The visual schedules and cards allow the student to have a voice, to have the opportunity to choose activities, to see exactly what he/she is doing and when he/she will complete the assigned tasks.
My students' families will have the opportunity to create customized visual aids according to their individual needs to improve their engagement and participation.
