My Students

All of my students are visually impaired or blind. These students do the same work as their classmates when their work is modified to one's ability. These materials will help children improve their visual efficiency skills and maintain visual focus for longer periods of time. The early years are crucial to strengthening emerging skills to build a foundation for years to come.

They are all so thankful for anything that someone does for them.

They are truly my sunshine and remind me to appreciate life.

My Project

My students need various items to help them succeed with visual tasks as they participate in STEAM activities. The portable dry erase boards will allow students to see math equations or science illustrations up close. The black felt is to help block out some of the visual clutter in a classroom so that students can focus on the important materials.

The abacus is to help a child with total blindness do math with her peers in a regular classroom setting.

The dome magnifier will help children see maps, graphs and math equations.

These items will help low vision students progress alongside peers as they use vision more efficiently.
