My Project

This project focuses on social emotional learning by engaging our students sensory and occupational therapy needs. Our school is a self contained community for students with disabilities who need alternative assessments and special accommodations to meet their needs. Many of our students have disabilities such as Autism and Intellectual Disabilities.

Our students are among our most venerable population.

In addition, many are wheelchair bound with emerging literacy and communication skills. They communicate through communication devices, eye gazes and gestures such as pointing or head movements.

These materials will adapt lessons to meet their individual needs. We are also including a photography backdrop for our school wide events and to improve self-advocacy skills and mental health on a larger scale to our entire school community.

Ms. Sara Richard H Hungerford School Grades 9-12
