My Project

This project will allow my students to begin to understand their individual needs and what supports work best for them. Students who need a quieter environment will know how to ask and use their noise canceling headphones. Students who need something to do with their hands while learning will know how to appropriately use and ask for a fidgets. Students that need to move their bodies will know how to listen to what their body's need and how to advocate for those needs. Please consider giving to this project the impact will be life long for my learners.
