Distraction-free Learning Centers for Special Needs Students
Help me give my students a distraction free center so they can focus on one task at a time, and learn how to attend to an activity (without visual distractions).
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
The items requested will give us the opportunity to create learning centers that have little to no visual distractions. Our special needs students are easily distracted by visual stimuli, and have a very hard time focusing and attending to a task if there is anything in their visual field that grabs their attention.
Using shower curtains and tension rods, we will cover the items in the center that aren't being used, so our students won't be distracted by them.
This will give them the ability to focus on and attend to the task directly in front of them.
Our students are special because they have very specific learning needs. They get dysregulated very easily by visual stimuli, and need support learning how to attend and focus on one task at a time. Their attention span is very short, so keeping distractions at a minimum is one way we can help support their needs.
Our goals are to be able to work on learning tasks with students in centers, and build their attention span and self-regulation skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
