My Project

I am lucky enough to teach Life Skills to high school exceptional needs students. My goal is to establish independence in every student as much as possible. Each student is unique in that they are all learning different things, on different days and in different ways.

My students are not stopped by a disability; we focus on their abilities and how they can better their lives.

WE teach basic things like ow to tie shoes, assemble products, use tools, and do leisure activities that could turn a profit, teach them to cook and work. All of these items will enable me to provide hands-on life skills to help each student reach their full independent potential.

Ms. Sharon Fort Myers High School Grades 9-12
