My Project

Our students are all special needs, ages 3-21. They enjoy things all students enjoy, hanging out with their friends, listening to music, all types of books, going to new places, and seeing new things.

This project will help us practice communicating using switches and help students connect action to language.

These switches and the power link will let us play music and stories or use inflatables at the touch of a button, this will help us connect the action to the language used. For example, choosing The Grinch or a snowman will allow for students to express their preferences.
