My Project

My students works well hands on! Some are speech delayed, autistic, and developmental delayed. These materials will definitely help them with speech, socialize with other peers, and definitely sensory. COVID-19 definitely impacted their academic learning! I strongly believe that the materials listed will be able to increase their speech language, social skills, and sensory. I named my project "Learning is FUN" because it should be fun! I want to increase student engagement and help with their individualized educational plan goals. By having hands on activities it will be beneficial and successful of student learning and progress.
