    As a special education teacher working with learners who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), my role focuses on helping them develop a range of essential skills.

    Teaching Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): I guide learners through daily tasks like dressing, eating, and hygiene routines, ensuring they gain independence in these areas. By breaking each task into small, manageable steps, I make sure they feel confident and capable.

    Introducing Bookwork: I introduce learners to basic academic skills, starting with simple bookwork. This involves tracing letters and numbers, working on coloring to improve fine motor skills, and gradually increasing their engagement with the materials. I tailor these activities to each child’s learning style and pace, making learning both fun and accessible.

    Speech Development: Helping children improve their communication skills is a priority. I incorporate speech exercises into our daily routine, using interactive methods like storytelling, role-play, and visual aids. I celebrate every new word and communication breakthrough with them.

    Reading and Literacy: I introduce early literacy through phonics, storytelling, and reading simple books together. By fostering a love for stories, I help children develop their reading skills while keeping the activities engaging and suitable for their attention span.

    Outdoor Activities and Play-Based Learning: Physical activity and outdoor play are essential parts of my teaching approach. I use outdoor activities to help learners develop motor skills, social skills, and cooperative play, ensuring they feel connected to the world around them.

    By taking this approach, I aim to create a supportive, structured, and joyful learning environment where each child can thrive at their own pace. My goal is to foster independence, communication, and a love for learning in each learner.
