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

The project I have put together helps my students with autism have several options to self regulate. The calming strips, rug for consistency in seating and self monitored reward chart help my students stay on track behaviorally which enhances more academic time and focus. Students with sensory processing disorder are encouraged to use their own learning to improve their skills in self management. Having several tools to help students develop their skills is essential in also helping them develop academic skills. Thank you for considering helping my classroom this year.
