My Students

My students are autistic and range in age from five to ten years old. They receive special instruction in small classrooms (6:1:1), along with related services throughout the school day, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and counseling.

My students have delays in gross/fine motor coordination, and spatial/visual problem solving, which can affect their performance with academic tasks (using classroom tools and materials), activities of daily living (dressing, feeding, hygiene), and participation in physical education and play activities.

Many of them have difficulty attending for extended periods of time and many demonstrate sensory-seeking behaviors.

My Project

This iPad mini will provide my students with the opportunity to learn functional and academic skills during their occupational therapy sessions. Many of my students currently use their devices to play games and watch videos. I want to introduce them to functional learning games and activities to improve their fine motor and visual motor skills, and in doing so, provide carry over into their classroom learning activities, as well as at home. During our therapy sessions, my students will receive individual attention and will have a chance to explore and learn the necessary skills to help them grow and thrive.
