My Project

Incorporating technology into my classroom has greatly enhanced my ability to reach all of my students on the spectrum. The iPad, in particular, is an incredibly effective tool that my students find highly motivating.

With hundreds of educational apps available, iPads provide children with autism with increased opportunities to develop their communication, motor, and cognitive skills.

By integrating iPads into our learning environment, we can reduce some of the challenges my students face. Many of them struggle with gross and fine motor skills and receive occupational therapy on a weekly basis to address these needs.

Having iPads in the classroom would truly excite my students with special needs and make learning an even more engaging and accessible experience!
