My Students

Brilliant, inquisitive, outgoing are just a few words to describe the kids in my classroom. I teach a special education autistic classroom that is full of visual, kinesthetic and auditory learners. My students enjoy opportunities where they can engage in hands on activities that meet their learning styles. My students possess a willing desire to enhance their learning and increase their independence skills.

Students utilize a curriculum called UNIQUE which is designed for learners with special needs.

The curriculum is paper based and has some online resources for students. At times it is difficult to get students to engage with the material, mostly due to the different learning levels and simplicity of the content. Three out of five students require hand over hand assistance with writing and cut and paste activities. Which is what most of the curriculum offers. Being able to provide them activities that are hands on are IMPERATIVE to their learning.

Coming from neighborhoods of an economic disadvantage and having a disability, students strive to work towards positive outcomes in every situation faced. They are able to persevere beyond their setbacks to become intellectual learners. They TRULY give me purpose in life that's worth fulfilling!

My Project

These tablets will help my non verbal students be able to communicate by using apps such as, let me talk, that support their needs. In addition, the touch screen option allows my students who have low gross motor skills to complete assignments using tablets.

Students face many academic challenges, with access to tablets it will help them to focus more on assignments and less on their disabilities that hinder them.

They are more familiar with using tablets than computers at home so this transition to school will be a breeze.
