My students are those with severe needs. The students that have complex medical needs, decreased social skills, decreased independence and require additional support from staff. Our students range in age from 3-5 and have often received additional supports from birth on to increase their abilities and their independence. Our student's families are often of lower income households who receive free and reduced lunches. But, despite all the hardships and trials they have had to overcome, these are the most loving, caring students you could ask for.
My Project
Because of the needs of the students, I need additional interventions in the classroom to help them achieve their maximum potential. I need sensory adaptations, interventions, additional cues, support from staff and research based programs daily to help them learn and retain the information that is presented to them. By giving me the opportunity to attend this training, I can give our students the best opportunity for learning and self development. This program will give the students the chance for learning, wellness, and peak performance. With these interventions in place, I can set up learning centers, learning programs and increase independence.
