Celebrate 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

As a special education teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide them with the best possible access to materials that will encourage their independence.

Navigating through life can be challenging for most young adults, it is my job to make that transition as seamless as possible.

My students are part of an adult transition program that focuses on four domains of life: social-emotional, vocational, independent living skills, and recreation/leisure. Students spend time in the classroom learning practical skills such as cooking, using public transportation, banking skills, personal hygiene, vocational training, interpersonal communication skills, accessing community resources, developing healthy relationships, and self-determination skills. They apply skills learned in the classroom during community-based lessons. Students are given the opportunity to go to worksites with job coaches and learn the necessary skills to gain meaningful employment. The program provides students opportunities to be more independent and have the experiences of any typical young adult.

My Project

Help me give my students a Chromebook and headphones to be able to access on-line resources that will help them achieve their independent living skills and vocational goals. This Chromebook will be used to help my students work towards their goals of being as independent as possible as they transition to adulthood and self-sufficiency. My students will be able to perform various essential tasks with the help of the Chromebook. They will be taught how to use and access maps to route out their destinations to and from work sites. They will be able to use the Internet to access websites designed for adults with disabilities and learn about invaluable resources. Students will be able to use programs that will help them generate resumes. Students will use the Internet to locate recreation and leisure activities that are fun and budget-friendly. They will be able to access their bank accounts and practice on-line money management. It will be used to teach online safety lessons.

Statistics show that people with disabilities have a higher rate of living in poverty and unemployment.

The key to reversing this trend is by helping these young adults learn how to become more independent, gain meaningful employment, and utilize resources. Students will use this Chromebooks to gain knowledge and skills that will help them improve their post-secondary outcomes.
