My Students

My classroom is made up of students who have multiple disabilities. Students assigned to my classroom require adaptive equipment to accommodate their special needs.

My students respond best when presented with multisensory learning activities.

The use of learning materials with visual, auditory, and tactile properties makes for a more stimulating learning experience and allows students to achieve their potential.

My students benefit from participating in activities that help improve their motor skills and physical coordination as well as aid with balance.

My Project

The Nasco pre-vocational work skills training set helps students practice skills such as sorting, assembly, counting, and packaging.

Every task is broken down into simple steps to help students advance successfully.

Each step builds on the one prior to it, allowing the ability to adapt the kit to the capabilities of each student. The simple directions in each kit help staff introduce and teach the tasks presented. Some students may only complete the first steps, while others progress through all of the steps. In many of the kits, advanced tasks are suggested for those who master the basic concepts and tasks presented. Each kit contains the necessary components with instructions and lesson plans, all packed in convenient plastic storage tubs.
