My Students

I teach eighteen to twenty-two year old, young adults with a variety of multiple impairments which include intellectual, health, physical, and sensory impairments in our unique special school. My students are need of help in making choices focusing on non-verbal communication. We work with each student individually to help them communicate in order for them to become more independent as they prepare for life outside of school.

My Project

This item will assist me in teaching students with disabilities during distance and hybrid instruction. During these uncertain times, we continue to pivot from one instructional model to another. This laptop will be used to keep my students engaged during the pandemic.

Functional communication is a major focus for all of our non-verbal learners.

This laptop will be an integral tool in helping students make choices, when used in conjunction with software designed for students with severe or profound disabilities.

By funding my project, it will help all students be successful.

Grades 9-12
