My Project

I teach Deaf and Hard of Hearing students that also have additional disabilities such as cerebral palsy and learning disabilities. It can be challenging for these students to play independently during centers if they do not have the right materials. The puzzles with the knobs help our students be able to grasp and develop their fine motor skills. This also helps them feel confident that they can do it independently! The train would be a great addition to our blocks center where students can use their imaginations to create and build an intricate train track. This will keep them engaged during our center time!
