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

Our school is located in a high poverty area in the South Bronx where all students have special needs. I teach in a self-contained classroom that consists of six students who are classified with an autism spectrum disorder.

Even though my students face a number of challenges, they are kind, caring, fun, and appreciative.

My students come to school every day, eager to learn, with smiles on their faces. They are incredible and one of a kind!

They face many cognitive and emotional challenges that many of us will never have to experience. They are on different learning levels and require a lot of support in terms of their ability to reach their academic goals.

My Project

Help us to cozy up to our classroom, promote focus and enhance learning with these tools to help our students with ADHD to improve their ability to process and learn new information!

My students with disabilities, especially ADHD and autism, have a difficult time focusing on the typical classroom environment offered by our public school.

The fluorescent lights, rock-hard chairs and white walls that exist in our school have been preventing my students from truly reaching their potential. Most of my students, who struggle to overcome deficits in attention and sensory integration, have difficulty processing new information because they can't focus on the task in front of them. Helping us to create this cozy space will truly enhance their ability to learn and will bring greater academic achievement for them for years to come! Thank you so much for helping to meet my students where they're at and move forward!
