I support students' Individualized Education goals for functional communication, literacy, receptive and expressive language, stuttering, and articulation. The photo printer and photo paper will be used to instantly print students' pictures. Once pictures are printed they will become part of the student's communication book. The laminator will be used to laminate printed materials and images taken from the internet to support literacy and vocabulary development, these materials will be attached to felt boards using the Velcro. The communication keyrings are for my students that need to communicate their basic needs and wants via pointing. The switches are for my student that can't verbalize their responses during a lesson. The stress balls will help my Autistic students stay calm in order to be able to last through a lesson. The toys will be used to reward and reinforce positive behavior, as students with Autism have a difficult time with focus and learning to learn skills. The flipbook will be used to support positive emotions via visual aids. My students have special needs that require visual aids, tactile and kinesthetic supports that need to be tailored to them instantly for their communication and speech delays. They also need materials that help them with sensory and I need supplies that motivate and reinforce their IEP goals.
