My Students

Although my students struggle, they are eager learners. They come in excited about what the day will have in store for them.

My students are 3rd through 5th graders in a self-contained classroom.

Their disabilities range from autism to ADHD. Each student brings his or her own unique personalities and strengths to our classroom. We are a community of learners and our goal is progress. Our school is a community school with a diverse population.

My Project

My students will use the Software: You are a Social Detective! to foster their social development. The software will be incorporated into our daily activities. The children will be able to practice their social skills in the comfort of our classroom. Students who are confident in social situations tend to be more confident in academics as well.

Often children with special needs struggle in social situations.

Confidence in social situations will not only benefit them in a school setting but also in their communities. Using the software will be an engaging way to enhance their social skills. They will be able to move through the program at their own pace.
