Help me give my students these sensory tools and activities necessary to help motivate, increase participation, decrease and minimize inappropriate behaviors that impact accessing the curriculum and NVACS. The language builder is used to teach appropriate replacement language.
My students are the most challenging and rewarding across the school district. I have students who present with severe behavioral excess and deficits, and impacted communication. I love that they are persistent at letting you know what they want even if it's by throwing books across the room. Their persistence also translates into learning how to communicate their needs appropriately once they realize I'm persistent too.
There is nothing more heartwarming than when a student who is struggling and engaging in severe behaviors realizes the tools you are providing them suddenly helps them fulfill their needs in appropriate ways and they feel supported and understood.
Even a non-verbal child expresses this by climbing into your lap and giving you a big hug!
My Project
Staying at home during Covid-19 took a toll on children with autism and other disabilities. Severe behaviors and non-compliance increased. As a behavioral specialist I am here to provide structure and teach appropriate behaviors but I can not do that with out tools.
Children with special needs require motivation, inspiration, and tools to better help them communicate and participate in school.
I have picked sensory and educational toys and tools that motivate and reinforce appropriate behaviors. Without motivation and incorporating interests into school day compliance goes down and severe behaviors increase.
