My Students

I am a special education teacher. I create visual aids and hands-on learning materials for students with special needs. Some students have physical disabilities, while others have cognitive disabilities, communication disorders or emotional impairments. Each student’s needs are unique and it takes a lot of work to create materials to meet their individual needs.

My Project

Some students have difficulties using the trackpad on a computer. Clicking and dragging on a trackpad is challenging for students with fine motor skills. iPads are helpful for many students, as the apps offer some features that aren't available on laptops.

I am requesting two new iPads to support students returning to the classroom after a school year impacted by COVID-19.

Our student body has a 64.79% free/reduced lunch population. Our students all bring their own unique qualities to the classroom; not only in their personalities, but also in their abilities and goals.
