My Students

My students have multiple disabilities, but they don’t let that hold them back! We use a variety of materials in order to facilitate their learning. A blending of physical and digital activities keeps them engaged, as well as engages other students who are not directly involved in the activities.

Many students have speech, OT, and PT services.

It is our goal this year to show the amazing things that we can accomplish, and that we can do anything that our general education peers can do!

My Project

We are focusing on our Essentials For Living in order to increase our Activity of Daily Living Skills. We will be working on skills that can be used when in the kitchen and when doing laundry. We will be transforming a portion of our room into an area for sorting/folding laundry. In the other area, we will have a faux pantry and table setting.

Students will take the skills learned in the class and transfer them to when they are at home in order to become more independent people.

We look forward to learning even more Activity for Daily Living Skills as we continue our journey.
