My Students

I work with students with moderate to severe disabilities; some are non-verbal, some are minimal verbal, and many have low cognitive abilities. Together we run a large horticulture program and Farmer’s Market. My students are all unique individuals and I differentiate instruction based on their needs.

While working in our school-garden and at the weekly farm stand, my students continuously work on expanding their communication skills and independence.

In preparation for future employment, students practice communicating with each others, other colleagues on campus and supervisors. In preparation for their future and life outside of school, students need to practice to think and work as independently as possible by using various tools like iPads, paper-and-pencil checklists, etc.

My Project

Over the past year, while we all were learning from home, many of our trees, flowers and vegetables in our school-garden have suffered or died.

By providing us with new trees and a whole supply of vegetable and flower seeds, we can get working again.

We grow the flowers and vegetables for our Farmers Market from seeds. Some of the lessons for our students include how to read instructions on seed packages, how to plant flower and vegetable seeds into seed starter trays and how and when to plant them outside into the ground.
