My Project

The assistive tools are beneficial for learners' daily living and speech-language communication skills which can significantly enhance learning by enabling individuals to express themselves, participate in activities, and access educational content more effectively. Additionally, the printer is used for creating customized learning materials and tactile aids, promoting accessibility and engagement for students with diverse needs. My low-income special education students need snacks not only to sustain their energy and focus during lessons but also to create a nurturing environment

This project focuses on activities of daily living which aim to promote quality of life and independence by empowering learners to carry out basic self-help skills, mobility, and personal care.

Another goal is to develop comprehension and listening skills to help learners become more adept at paying attention and comprehend speech-language communication.

Being a special education teacher is a fulfilling job. My students are special because of their strengths, resilience, and frequently remarkable learning and growth styles. To realize their full potential, they need specific support and understanding.
