My Project

My students are special because they are developmentally delayed, and tug at my heart daily. Even though they don't understand some of the daily skills required for life they try to the best of their ability to do what is asked of them. The choices I picked will help them learn their letters, as well as hand eye coordination.

Teaching a dyslexic student how to compensate, and learn a different set of skills so they can compete with peers is a challenge and a joy when small tasks are achieved.
