My Students

As a teacher in an impoverished, special education school, my students experience challenges both in and outside of the classroom. With this, it is my goal to provide enriching experiences that help to ease their days and that foster life-long learning.

My students have difficulty focusing and interacting with peers.

My school serves students with a variety of special needs, including Autism, Down Syndrome, and Intellectual Disabilities within small and restrictive learning environments. My students are bright and enthusiastic, but require additional supports such as sensory integration and communication devices, which aid in stimulating their senses and allowing our students, who are mostly non-verbal, to communicate their wants and needs.

We are a small and supportive elementary site with a low budget that wants the best for our students. If we can meet their needs, then we are confident that they will reach their greatest potentials.

My Project

Since my students have difficulty focusing, communicating, and interacting with peers, iPads would serve as a motivational tool for students to complete important work during the day while developing social interactions. With the wide variety of educational games and programs that can be downloaded onto iPads today, students would be encouraged to engage in topic related apps and videos. Additionally, the use of iPads could facilitate language due to the opportunity for taking turns, as well as the free language apps that are available. A lot of my students are motivated by technology but are not able to use the classroom computers functionally because they do not have the fine motor development to type on the computer. Therefore, iPads would accommodate specific learning needs while providing students with a positive reinforcement.
