Reading, Science, Autism: 3 Spectaculars

My students need the Leapfrog Tag Reader and books to meet their needs as autistic students who need a calming way to de-stress so that they can be able to be successful.

My Students

De-stressing comes easily for most people - but not for some of my autistic students who experience anxiety and social communication problems. Listening to stories being read is a self-calming technique that WORKS for my students and helps them be successful for the rest of the school day.

Getting along with others is a life long skill needed by all age groups.

Autistic students experience difficulties with understanding the social demands of others. These students work hard during social skills instruction to be able to manage their disability. However, it causes a lot of anxiety and overwhelming feelings. One intervention which truly helps them de-stress and be successful is listening to books/stories being read. This intervention is not possible when I am teaching small groups.

My Project

The Leapfrog TAG, a simple piece of technology,along with lots of TAG books and interactive flashcards are the key to assisting my high functioning autistic students become less anxious and remain engaged in learning, thus being able to remain in the mainstream regular education classes. Having the opportunity to use these tools will allow a successful intervention to be used since I cannot stop to read while I am teaching other small groups. With the Tag Reader and books, my students will be able to de-stress and read with a new, techno method while I continue to teach.

With the interactive books, I will be able to provide numerous opportunities for these students to be able to read everything from the science, animals, National Geographic, spelling, and even manner genres.

Another main desire is to provide a device for my autistic students to be able to read in a quiet place when the the environment around them has become overwhelming.
