My Students

My students are children with a variety of special needs who come from diverse populations such as Guyana and India. They attend our Title I school, which means that the children are mostly from low income families or they may live in a shelter. Many of the children have a multitude level of learning needs due to one or more of the following: various medical conditions and diagnoses, with delays in the following areas: cognitive, language, attention, fine motor, behavioral and social-emotional delays.

My students are always eager to try new things.

They don't see it as an obstacle, but a opportunity to learn things that are new or unfamiliar to them!

The students have limited abilities that prevent them from letting others see their true potential. Some students have difficulty with focusing on tasks therefore limiting their learning ability. Other students have physical disabilities making it difficult to sit properly in class, write, cut, color correctly or have the endurance to complete the class assignments being taught.

My students really shine when they are performing hands-on, interactive activities that increase their skill level and overcome their physical and cognitive barriers.

My Project

My responsibility to the students is to help evaluate, assess and directly treat the child's strengths and weaknesses so they can learn and create to their highest potential in the classroom.

Many of my students have a difficult time with their self-regulation.

They are unable to sit for extended periods of time, making them miss out on learning opportunities. While there is movement for the students in the classroom such as desk to carpet and movement to other classes such as art or computers, it is not enough for my students. The sensory path will be made with colorful adhesive vinyl and inspirational motivational quotes that students will jump, walk, tip-toe and move their bodies so they can ready not only their bodies but their minds to return to their classroom eager to learn.

Having the colorful vinyl and materials needed to create the sensory pathway will give the students the opportunity to engage in purposeful movement to help self-regulate and increase learning in the classroom.
