My Project

I work with students with autism and other various disabilities. My students are kind and funny and deserve the best learning experience possible. In my classroom routine and minimal stimulation are a must.The fidgets on my list will help with keeping them focused. The math books have also worked very well in the past. Learning materials in our room that are easy to understand are very essential to make it easy to focus and avoid frustration. I also included some very much needed supplies for my room to help with our daily routines.
