My Students

My students are amazing! They are eager to learn and participate in new activities, however lack of experiences and materials will hold them back. They have a difficult time connecting with traditional books and need books adapted.

My students are 5 to 14 years-old but are all functioning on preschool level academically.

All of my students have limited social skills and have significant language deficit 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 means, however this is getting harder and harder.

My students are diagnosed with intellectual disability and autism. They learn and respond positively to curriculum that is visual, kinesthetic and allows them to practice their skills repeatedly.

My Project

Parent participation and engagement are essential in helping my students carry over the progress they make in school to their home and community. Often times when parents get letters home on plain paper they get lost in the shuffle of day to day life and forgotten about.

I want to create and send home a monthly newsletters to update parents on their child’s progress using bright and colorful paper that will not get lost in the shuffle.

Student will get to choose which color their progress note goes on which will add to the motivation of the students to show their parents all of the amazing progress they are making.
