My Students

1 in every 110 children in the United States are diagnosed with Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorders every year- Autism Speaks. Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life and affects the brains normal development of social and communication skills.

The students we see are high school students ranging from ages 14-21.

Many of these students have speech and language disabilities related to poor pragmatic skills. Some of these students are already diagnosed with Autism, but there are some who are not. My student's have a variety of social deficits which affect their everyday lives. These students often have minimal or no friends due to their poor social abilities. Our goal is to help these students by providing the tools they need to become successful communicator's during high school and their adult lives. These students have trouble making conversation, maintaining eye contact and expressing their wants and needs.

My Project

We are requesting these resources so that these student's can be properly assessed and an accurate treatment plan can be constructed for them. With no money to purchase the proper assessment tools and treatment materials, some students are not receiving the most accurate interventions that could be most beneficial to them.

If these materials are purchased for the students we would have a more accurate diagnosis of the students disabilities and be able to focus on their needs during therapy.

Improving their social abilities can make a world of a difference for a student with Autism and we hope these materials can help them to interact with their peers more often. Thank You!
