My Students
I work with a wide-spectrum of students who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ranging from grades Kindergarten-Second Grade. This is a full day Specialized Program containing 6 students in Kindergarten and First Grade. This program is at a brand new school in the Henderson, NV area.
Autism is a developmental disorder of brain function characterized by three major types of symptoms: impaired social interactions, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication and unusual or severely limited activities and interests.
My students do best in an environment that is structures and routine based. They are amazing little learners. To see the world through their eyes is such a special thing.
My Project
My students love to learn and play in different ways. They are excited to try new things, explore the world, and take everything in! They are also young learners who are learning how to make friends, take turns and help one another.
An important way they do this is through play and center time in our classroom.
Kinetic sand is a mess-free sand that can be used to help children with sensory issues, anxiety or stress, and can be used in a wide variety of counseling techniques. It can help children understand their feelings, learn how to manage their anxiety, self-calm, and much, much more!
