Celebrating 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 Students
I am starting a K/First specialized program for students with moderate to severe needs in a school that serves approximately ninety percent Latino students. The program serves students with autism and intellectual disability. In addition to barriers due to their disabilities, many of my students also encounter barriers resulting from language development and socioeconomic status. My program is designed to provide students with meaningful and engaging hands-on learning experiences that will keep my students excited to learn new things.
I am very excited to start a specialized program for students with moderate to severe education needs.
Although this is a very exiting experience, it is also a challenging one. Starting a new program means we have very limited resources. As a special education teacher, I need to ensure that I meet all of my students needs (academic and non academic) with the limited resources and materials available.
My Project
I am requesting sensory toys and equipment because most of my students struggle with sensory integration. My students' sensory processing abilities can affect their behavior, levels of frustration, and learning.
I want to meet my students' sensory needs within the classroom and allow them to focus their energy on learning.
This project will help me meet a variety of sensory needs. For example students can have sensory breaks with the Movement Sensory Sox, Water Beads, and Modelling Dough. The Gaiam Kids Balance Ball Chair and the Stability Wobble Cushion will provide students with flexible seating and the Mpow Kids Safety Ear Muffs will help with sensory overload.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
