Therapy for Youth

Help me give my students a therapeutic space where they can learn about coping skills and how to regulate emotions. Books, games and therapeutic toys are a great way for students to regulate their emotions and learn about themselves.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students attend an early educational therapeutic behavioral model for young students experiencing significant challenges with appropriate behavior, which impedes their ability to participate in a regular education classroom. The separate campus ensures smaller classes in a nurturing environment, so each child receives the attention and care they need to thrive.

At our school, we stress the importance of positive peer culture and foster a therapeutic classroom environment that emphasizes the social, emotional, and intellectual development of each child.

Throughout group therapy and one on one therapy sessions I will teach students to use coping skills, communicate with others, love who they are, and etc.
