My Students
Spectrum Academy is the premier charter school in Utah for students with high-functioning autism and others that benefit from our unique learning environment. We provide our students with smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, and innovative transition skills curriculum. Our mission is to help students reach their fullest potential academically, socially, and emotionally, leading them towards productive and successful futures.
My students are each unique, they require many sensory and assistive technology accommodations to help them perform at a level similar to their neurotypical peers.
Each student necessitates different support methods and materials in order to be successful in achieving their educational goals. The majority of my students have Autism Spectrum Disorder and are extremely passionate about learning - both in-person and online- by using "hands-on" digital activities and curriculum. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, we have had to shift back and forth between in-class and online for our instructional time. This remote method of learning has caused extreme difficulty in adhering to each student's accommodations and meeting their individual needs.
My Project
In recent years surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic, our students have been completing the majority of their learning remotely, through online classes and tools. Earlier this year, they were able to return to our classroom where they received in-person lessons. During this time, it became apparent that finding an appropriate curriculum for our transitioning students can be challenging with the tools currently available. This project will help fund materials and equipment to improve our transitional skills classroom. Here, we specialize in preparing students for the transition to the adult world, we teach vocational skills (including soft skills), financial literacy, and life skills. For the most part, we’ve been able to create lessons that are catered to the transitional goals of our classes but this can be restrictive for certain students. Oftentimes, we must rely on teachers in similar classes to ours to create a curriculum and make it available to be purchased by other teachers. My students deserve to have access to tools and a curriculum that will appropriately teach them the life and vocational skills they need to transition into society as mature adults.
This project will help fund materials for improving our transitional skills classroom.

They have been lacking this part of their education due to the pandemic and will greatly benefit from the opportunity to use these materials.
