My Project

iPad breaks can offer valuable moments of engagement for children on the spectrum, providing them with a structured opportunity to unwind while still benefiting from interactive learning tools. These breaks can help students develop fine motor skills, cognitive abilities, and emotional regulation by using applications that are tailored to their interests and needs. With the visual and auditory stimulation from the iPad, students are able to engage in activities at their own pace, which can help to reduce stress and improve focus when returning to classwork.

Headphones play a crucial role in enhancing the individual experience for children on the spectrum, as they provide an auditory escape from overwhelming environmental noise.

By using headphones, students can enjoy personal moments of relaxation, concentration, and self-regulation without distractions from their surroundings. This quiet space allows them to focus more intently on the content they're engaging with, whether it’s a favorite app, music, or a calming soundscape, ultimately supporting both their emotional well-being and educational growth.
