My Students

My students are inspired by many different things. I try to find different creative ways to help keep them motivated to participate in each and every day.

I teach a 6:1:1 class of students with autism in a middle school for students with special needs in New York City.

My students use routine and structure to help them throughout the day. Many of them are visual learners who thrive on independent work. They are highly motivated by positive feedback and incentives.

My Project

My students need the opportunity to independently be able to do many different things in their lives. They unfortunately do not always get this chance.

With this project, I hope to give my students the ability to work on materials repeatedly at their own pace with motivating work and projects that both engages and fosters independence.

This project gives them items that they would want to work with and helps them maintain their skills throughout the school day. Sometimes when they are working on things by themselves, they may get fidgety so the seat cushions will help them relax and focus so that they can continue with their work without interruption.
