My Students

I have the pleasure and privilege of working with a unique group of young adults with low incidence disabilities. These delightful young people work hard every day to gain greater independence and find their place in their community. They find joy in life that most people miss. They also face many struggles. These students have a very diverse range of disabilities including traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, genetic disorders, and autism. Most are nonspeaking and all are learning to use augmentative communication. They amaze me daily with their determination to meet life's challenges head-on.

My Project

My students are most engaged with hands-on activities that allow them to use their strengths while learning new skills and practicing mastered skills. Most of my students have goals for following a diagram to complete a project as well as improving their basic math skills.

Students with low incidence disabilities need access to a variety of age respectful hands-on activities to help them learn, maintain, and generalize new skills.

Activities such as those listed in the project will allow for the creation of tasks bins and other learning opportunities that will maximize the students' independence in completing work-readiness-related tasks.
