My Students

My class is made up of a group of 12 young children with special needs. Our school has over 1200 students from diverse backgrounds; more than 20% have special needs. Of those students who have special needs, approximately 10% are on the Autistic Spectrum, have ADD/ADHD and/or have Social and Emotional needs. The students in my class have speech and language disorders, Autism, ADHD/ADD, and learning disabilities. Each student has a uniqueness about them that makes it easy to love spending each day with them, watching them perservere and overcome challenges.

My Project

This year was a year like no other. My students were able to adapt to learning at home quickly. Our hybrid learning was inconsistent and not ideal for my students with special needs. I would like to be able to provide my students with necessary materials that will help them continue their learning at home for home and school closures. The materials in the learning at home kit will help my students practice strategies and content learned in class. The kits will also be used in case of unexpected school closures to ensure students will be actively engaged in remote learning.
