My Project

I am a teacher of students with autism who are amazing! My students are 5-8 years old. The students have unique needs and struggle daily with significant communication and learning needs. They work every day on their life skills, daily living skills, and communication. A few of the students in my classroom are English language learners and come from low-income households. My students enjoy hands-on learning, interactive activities, and sensory play. Most of my students receive an alternative curriculum to accommodate their educational needs. Our class has unique needs, and we often require a lot of visuals. I believe providing my students with a variety of materials and opportunities that support their various abilities and learning styles will enable them to generalize skills, engage socially, and continue to blossom as learners.

My students need to practice good hygiene with toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss picks, soap, and toileting aids/visuals.

These tools and resources will help them learn to be more independent in school and at home!

My goal is to improve my students' overall hygiene so they can be more independent in ADLs (activities of daily living)! Sometimes it's difficult for my students to communicate their needs and wants effectively, especially when it comes to ADLs involving hygiene such as toileting, hand-washing, and even toothbrushing at home. And we really want to focus on potty-training this year!
