My Students

My students are amazing! They are eager to learn and participate in new activities, however, a lack of experiences and materials is holding them back. They have a difficult time transitioning and need adequate job experience!

My students are 13 to 21 years old, and they are mostly on the autism spectrum.

All of my students have limited social skills and have significant language deficits in expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language skills. My students are often frustrated because they cannot communicate their needs and wants. Many times they struggle to keep up with the other students because they do not speak and cannot participate in the same ways. I work tremendously hard to expose them to as many experiences within my school's means, and we are looking to expand!

My students are so incredibly excited to have the opportunity to learn job skills, obtain vocational experience, and be responsible young adults with a job!

My Project

The Snack Cart project aims to help my students learn new vocational skills that include selling, restocking, and purchasing snacks and beverages around the school. This will not only help provide them with new vocational skills that they can use in their future but also provide them with new social skills to better their social-emotional learning. The students are then rewarded with the snacks that will be donated to them as their "payment" for working their jobs. It is important to teach the concept of earning rewards, and also for being rewarded for good work! We chose snacks as the students' payment because often times they don't come with snacks from home, they throw out their school lunches or are not provided with adequate portion sizes, and they don't have much to eat during the day.

My students learn best by doing so I believe this can be a great opportunity for them to grow in their school environment and learn from each other.

Having a mobile cart where my students can go from class to class to sell the snack items requested will help them reach more people to gain more learning experiences in the building. We can also work on their motor planning as they are manipulating that cart. Restocking the cart is also a core skill we want our students to learn as many of them have sorting and matching goals on their IEPs. We also requested storage bins as we believe those will be helpful in organizing the items we’re selling and will help store what does not fit on the cart. Of course, learning how to count money to give back change and purchase items is another important skill the snack cart aims to address.
