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.
What if the only way to learn was through using pictures or objects? Some children on the autism spectrum think, learn, and organize information this way.
The majority of my truly amazing students are diagnosed with autism and also face the challenges of coming from a disadvantaged socioeconomic background.
They have a wide range of abilities in their social, cognitive, and language skills and need certain modifications to ensure that they have a balanced instructional program with functional and academic rigor.
Planning and teaching social skills to over 50 students across 8 classes with varying abilities, has its challenges. Motivation is a critical component to engage my students in learning. Having access to a variety of critical high interest materials will enable them to actively participate, generalize skills and reach their full social emotional learning potential.
My Project
Schools are no longer in session and the transition to online learning has been a tedious process, especially for students with special needs. Most of my students are visual and tactile learners who benefit from consistency. While some student are able to focus and complete work on a computer, others require concrete materials to assist with their learning, especially with daily living skills.
My students are currently learning at home and need tissues and a variety of books that can be adapted to teach them what to do when they sneeze.
Being able to sneeze into a tissue or elbow is more critical during this trying time and many of my students still need assistance with this skill. Families can access activities and resources online but those without printers cannot make hard copies that would further enhance their child's learning. Being able to bring my families tissues that their children are accustomed to using in addition to modified books will help make teaching their child how to blow and wipe their nose a more meaningful experience.
