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 Students

Technology offers students with an Autism Spectrum Disorder many opportunities. In addition to traditional academic skills, our class focuses on communication, fine motor skills, and social interaction.

Autism is not a processing error, it's a different operating system.

My students require opportunities to practice and generalize skills that may come more easily to neuro-typical students. Technology is a key to unlocking their abilities.

My students are in a program called a Structured Learning Class. They are a small group of 7 students ranging in ages from 5-9 and have varying abilities. They all work on pre-requisite academic skills and access a modified curriculum with visual supports.

My Project

Tablet use also provides additional outlets for augmentative communication systems, music, and entertainment. Handwriting, basic reading skills, and math practice are easily accessed on a tablet. Kindle Fires are an affordable alternative to a more expensive iPad and provide the same academic features for a school setting.

Kindle Fires are motivating, engaging, and easy to use.

Apps are available for academic, social, and life skill repeated practice. Students will access these Kindles during independent academic practice and have access to a tablet for voice output communication. Students will be able to enjoy books read aloud as well as educational videos on tablets.
