My Project

I would like to create more engagement for my students diagnosed with Autism. My students have language delays, and/or attention issues that make it difficult for them to listen to stories. By adding visual supports to adapt these board books, I can increase student engagement!

Adapted books are so valuable for students who have difficulty maintaining attention when the teacher is reading, and adapted books can help!

I want to give their busy little hands something to hold on to (matching a picture) with more durable pages that will hold better. These board books represent so many seasonal themes I would like to explore with them this year, and with my students for many years to come.
