My students are Absolutely Amazing! Each have a diagnosis of Autism and attend a Title I School, serving underprivileged youth in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Many of my students are non-verbal and all of my students have communication deficits.
It is my job as their teacher,mentor and advocate to find innovative ways to reach their highest learning level.
My students are not handicap, bad, or with limited potential, instead they are are Inquisitive, Intelligent, Witty, and Fully Capable!
When exposed to outside of the box learning strategies, cooperative learning groups and small groups focused on their sensory needs, my students potential for life long learning in limitless!
My Project
The items on our wish list will help with the following areas of learning for our students, Reading and Writing Preferences, Kinesthetic, Visual and Auditory learning styles. Having various learning materials on hand is imperative for our self-contained classroom as each of our students have specific learning needs. For example the blue seated cushion will aide in focus and calming students when they become fidgety, the kinetic sand serves as a positive reinforcement while increasing the students fine and gross motor skills, the reading guides help to decrease distraction of to many words on a page and helps to keep our student on track and successful with their reading goals.
