Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I teach children that are severe and profound. We learn through different multi-sensory modalities. We focus on functional skills and learn to explore our environment. The materials I have chosen are preferred items that can be used during our daily lessons.
My students are most engaged when their lessons include textures, colors and smells and at times we use preferred items to help encourage participation.
All lessons are functional based and specific for each student. By having preferred items used in "first this, then this," students are more willing to participate in learning. These materials not only provide multi-sensory stimulus but we are able to incorporate and support speech and language goals, physical and occupational goals and visions goals. Students use different communication devices to request materials, we place materials in locations where they have to practice their physical therapy goals and each child is given the time to manipulate the materials supporting their occupational goals. All lessons require eye-hand coordination and modifications are implemented for our students to be successful. Every day is full of color and laughter. You may see that I requested current movie dolls, mix and match animals, magnets, and puzzles. These items are specifically chosen for preferred items based on students' interests. Because our children are learning to navigate on their own and are learning to be independent learners, having preferred items helps encourage and engage our students to learn and work towards having time to play with such items.
