My Project

The requested items will allow the social skills classes to teach students self-awareness, relationship-building, and responsible decision-making. To facilitate dynamic learning, classrooms now feature flexible seating arrangements like standing desks, stability balls, and adjustable chairs, allowing students to choose options that best meet their needs. The special education department has worked diligently to provide individualized accommodations so all students, regardless of learning differences, can thrive academically and socially. The resource materials will allow for individualized curriculums to be developed for each student based on their social skills and needs. In doing so, the students can focus on the skills and components they need to succeed within the school system and beyond as they transition into the community.

This list aims to allow students with disabilities to build their social skills in a small, safe space where they can feel free to express themselves.

The students who are in these courses suffer from poor social skills based on their disabilities. The resources selected in this list allow students at various cognitive and physical levels to access the content needed to grow and gain skills to be successful in a job, school setting, or within themselves.
