Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Social-emotional learning (SEL) activities paired with tech support will play a crucial role in helping my students with autism and disabilities develop essential skills such as emotional regulation, social communication, and self-awareness.

The specific items I am requesting, such as sensory-friendly tech tools and interactive learning games, will provide personalized support, allowing students to engage more deeply with lessons and practice social interactions in a safe, structured environment.

My goal for this project is to create an inclusive, supportive learning space where each student can grow both socially and academically by using technology that adapts to their individual needs. What makes my students special is their unique combination of strengths, challenges, and potential, which can flourish when they have the right tools and guidance.
