My Students

Our schools serve students who attend District 75 in the NYC public school system. These unique learners have moderate to severe disabilities and we take pride in individualizing our learning environments to adapt to the needs of each child. Our amazing students are incoming Kindergarteners-1st graders who have Autism or some form of an Intellectual Disability. These students have unique needs that include but are not limited to sensory processing disorders, a lot of redirection to maintain focus on different tasks throughout the day and over-stimulatory behaviors, which makes remote learning a challenge for our special learners.

My Project

Our students with special needs thrive in a structured environment that meets their individualized needs. Throughout the day, our students rely on different coping modalities and strategies, such as sensory breaks, to focus on various tasks throughout the day.

Flexible and sensory seeking equipment such as bouncy bands, fidget toys and a classroom rug will offer a designated safe area for our children to get their sensory inputs met.

Thank you for giving our students a chance to safely catch up on learning skills in an environment that can offer more support than remote instruction!
