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 Project
My project is to start a growing trend in teaching special needs students through play. I want to make learning fun by using manipulatives. I want to model, interact and be present with my students.
I teach a beautiful group of first through third grade students diagnosed with autism and Down syndrome.
Their inability to sit still, comprehend, stay engaged, start and finish a task make teaching and learning difficult.
They need hands on activities so they can learn. They need to see how to play, how to start a task and how to complete it. They need to learn new behaviors by trusting that we want the best for them.
More than three‑quarters 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
