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 Students

I currently have 13 students all with severe or profound disabilities.

They have physical disabilities, behavioral problems, and are non verbal.

Every day my students are faced with obstacles most people will never know. Although they all have severe disabilities they are all individuals with amazing personalities! With the help of our school, my students work on a daily basis to increase their academic and vocational skills. It may take some of my students years to learn to the steps needed to sort their laundry, but they never give up and have more dedication than most!

They inspire me to be a better teacher and to constantly improve in order to support them better. My students are faced with challenges every moment of their day, but they are always smiling and always willing to try. Our school provides them a safe and structured environment, freedom from judgment, and the support of the most dedicated staff I have ever worked with.

My Project

In my current classroom I have four students in wheelchairs with a large range of disabilities. All of them struggle with mobility and require moderate to full assistance. In the classroom we do many activities at the board using magnets which can be very difficult for my students in wheelchairs. Activities include sorting colors, matching, identifying habitats, and working with numbers. Students are able to complete these tasks to the best of their ability and it helps them increase their functional academic skills. For students in wheelchairs, it can be a challenge for them to work at board with the magnets.

Having table top magnetic boards that we can place on the students' desk will give them the chance to access the same curriculum as their peers and allow them greater independence.

Table top boards will also create an environment for students to complete peer work at their desks. This will give my students a better chance of helping each other grow and learn.
