My Students

My students are classified as moderately intellectually disabled (MOID). They can stay in school until they are 21 years old. During their stay in school, they not only absorb high school standards they also need to learn significant vocational skills which are extremely challenging.

My special needs students not only participate in the Georgia Alternative Assessments (GAA), where they learn high school standards.

They also partake in community based vocational instruction (CBVI) in the community. They learn job skills twice a week at a large department store in the community. They also visit several stores in the community once a month to explore the different job opportunities in the area. They understand that they need to practice numerous of job skills in order to obtain a specific job. Most of the males would love to work in the restaurants and the females want to work in the nail shops or a beauty salons. One student stated that he would like to work in construction. The special needs students would like working once they graduate from high school; however, some of them do not receive employment due to lack of skills. MOID students need to practice continuously just to be successful in one area.

My Project

The students love working with their hands. With the materials ordered. They will practice skills they would love to do when they graduate from school. The ordered materials are real-life materials and items they can actually visualize and utilize on real job situations. They enjoy participating in different hands-on activities. Painting a mannequin hand and or designing a hairstyle on a cosmetology mannequin will be exceedingly stimulating for them, but once they receive the opportunity to practice they will master the task. Learning how to follow directions in order to create the Eiffel Tower, The White House or the Capitol made from adult Lego Architecture kits will also be a wonderful and exciting task for the students to master especially if they get a job in construction. Time magazines are among the ordered materials. The magazine will assist with improving the students in reading and keeping up with current events.

The needed donations will have a vast impact on the MOID (moderately intellectually disabled) students.

They will no longer have to just look at videos on how to style hair, or paint nails. With the donated materials, they will be able to use the real-life materials. The donations will improve the students chances of obtaining a job and to be successful on a job. The students will also be able to state that they have experience in a specific area on their resumes.
