My Students

I am an Adapted Physical Education (APE) teacher to students with Autism grades K-5. They are the sweetest, most amazing children you will ever meet. We have now entered a school year that is leaving remote behind and I want to give them the most fantastic, fun, and meaningful learning experience. My students learn best with high sensory equipment and I would love to revamp my classroom and match it to the sensory and adapted physical needs that my students have.

My Project

I work with Autistic students who have highly individualized sensory needs. I love working with equipment that is fun and like to think out of the box to catch my student's attention and get them excited about working on their object control, locomotor, and gross motor development.

The frog mitts will definitely increase interest in practicing throwing the fly back and forth.

Sensory balls will be used by all students to increase participation and for their sensory breaks.

I will use all new equipment to help them reach their individualized adapted physical education goals. I look forward to a fun year with new activities that will enhance my student's learning experience and get them back on track with their goals.
