Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Research has shown that toys and play are critical for language development. Through play, kids develop their social, physical, cognitive, and communicative and language skills. Play supports skills such as object permeance, cause and effect, problem solving, joint attention, turn taking, sharing with others, requesting assistance or repetition of an activity or more of a desired item, following directions and vocabulary development, manipulation hands to strengthen their motor skills and more. The population of students I work with are diagnosed with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. Often these students have difficulty engaging in play activities and have severe language delays. That is why I am asking for materials that are engaging to help them develop play skills and further develop their language/communication skills. These toys will help support my students’ language skills and will be used during low stressed and free play and/or as an incentive to completing a structured/table-top activity. I also need laminating sheets to make adaptive stories that my students can participate in read aloud.
