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 Students

"Autism is not a disability, it's a different ability." - Stuart Duncan

My classroom is comprised of a group of amazing students who are all identified with autism.

With the autistic spectrum creating a broad spectrum of abilities cognitively and behaviorally, we have many different strategies to have the students working towards their highest potential.

Among my students, some are also identified with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Intellectual Disabilities, a traumatic brain injury and Speech and Language Impairments. Half of the students receive ESOL services, along with one student being nonverbal. All students receive speech and occupational therapy services.

These students love to explore new things, hear new stories, and be involved with their school events!

My Project

Our district has been completely virtual since last year. This April (2021) will be our first attempt to start on a hybrid schedule. My students in particular, who are identified with special needs in my self-contained classroom, will be coming back 4 days of the week. My duty is to not only not skip a beat when it comes to academics, but to keep the environment as safe and sanitized as possible. These subscriptions, bins and materials will promote the social emotional learning they need to be independent in their tasks and comfortable enough to feel like they are back at home in their classroom.
