Introduction

Starting this blog I thought I better introduce myself… I am a teacher at a school for children with physical disabilities and chronic health impairments.

In my class this year I have 6 kids, all lower primary age. In my classroom I have a mix of kids using wheelchairs, kay walkers, and hospital beds at various times throughout the day. Some of the students are non-verbal, so I also use PODD communication books (40-cell and 20-cell direct access), keyword sign, iPads with Proloquo2go and PECS to communicate with different students at different times.

 As well as teaching, I am also in the middle of completing my Masters in Special Education. It has been a fantastic opportunity to gain some new skills and stay up to date with the latest research in the field.

 It’s really busy, but I love everything that I do. I hope to share some of my ideas about how I’m using technology in my classroom to help my student to access the curriculum and achieve their goals.
