My Project

I provide English and Social Studies instruction for students with significant developmental disabilities that dictate that they receive a significantly modified curriculum. I teach four sections of English and 1 section of Social Studies. All 46 of my students require instruction provided with reduced depth and scope and highly structured lessons with significant visual and verbal support. My students' developmental and functional levels range from 15 months to early elementary. This means many of my students are currently developing the practical skills needed to visually discriminate images to sort and categorize, connect images to objects. 10 of my students have severe or profound cognitive impairments, 5 have visual impairments, and the rest have moderate cognitive impairment and coexisting conditions such as Autism or Traumatic Brain injury. In addition to having pervasive developmental disabilities, 15 of my students are English language learners. This makes the strong picture supports provided even more critical for helping develop English and make academic progress.

Full-color visual supports provide essential access for my student, who has limited literacy skills and needs additional visual support.

My students have access to The Unique Curriculum. The topics and information change monthly, while the format and expectations remain the same. This allows students to develop the greatest level of independence with the material while providing exposure to the same concepts as their general education peers. The Unique curriculum is entirely virtual, so all materials must be printed to be accessed hands-on. Each month we are provided with over 500 pages of material to print and utilize. The purchase of the Epson Eco-tank printer will allow me to print multiple color copies for my students to access the materials.
