My Project

The items in the project below incorporates many different aspects of educational goals, from mathematics, ELA, and social skills! Many of the games focus on increasing students academic math and ELA goals by focusing on segments and blends, CVC words, addition and subtraction, and also on social skill areas like turn taking, problem solving and being a good sport. As a life skills teacher, these are often areas students with Autism struggle to complete independently, by working on it both in school and out, these students are able to continue to practice these goals and in hopes to one day master them!
