Las Vegas KIDS

My students need toys and educational materials. This is the first time having this program at my school and we started the year with no materials.

My Students

My students are in the KIDS Autism program. This is a preschool special education program for 3- and 4-year-olds. The first time they walk into my classroom is typically their first time in a school setting. A lot of students with autism have trouble with sensory processing. Because of this, school is overwhelming and challenging for these tiny humans. They need a lot of modeling of what is right and wrong. They usually prefer sticking to set schedules, and transitions throw them off. Most things, even simple daily tasks, need to be task analyzed so these kiddos can successfully acclimate to the day-to-day school procedures.

My Project

My students are young so they learn through play. I incorporate behavior and academic goals into structured play. I try to find educational materials that seem more like a game than work. I have a couple of students who are non-verbal, so alternative forms of response are needed. I like to use technology (response buttons) to give these students a voice and a means to participate.

Reinforcement is also a big aspect of our classroom.

My students are not intrinsically motivated, so finding games, toys, and sensory items that motivate them is imperative. My students love kinetic sand and water marbles. Light covers enable the students to work and play without sensory overload.
