Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a school psychologist, I support many students with disabilities within a general education setting. This includes students with Autism, ADHD, Intellectual Disabilities, and processing challenges. Visual supports and continuous instruction on behavior expectations are important to their success.

This project is intended to increase the capacity of support my students with disabilities receive.

The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will be used for social stories, behavior lessons, reinforcement strategies (i.e. token boards), and visual supports (i.e. visual schedules, icons). The laminating sheets will help protect these resources so they can withstand frequent use. Also included in this project are sensory items and visual timers to help with regulation in the classroom and calm down areas.

Also included in this project is a binding machine with binding coils. My plan is to make behavior resource books for classrooms as well as individual students.
