The Adams Elementary School received a Community Grant from the Brown Rudnick Center for the Public Interest! The grant funds will provide iPads to support learning and engagement for students with autism.
Michelle Lamacchia, the Autism Strand Specialist at the school describes: "We requested the iPads because they are highly motivating and effective in increasing student engagement. We also have licenses for our students to use VizZle software; visually interactive lessons that can be customized to individual student learning objectives. We know the iPads will increase the amount of time our students can engage in lessons specific to their learning needs."
The Adams Elementary has been finding innovative ways to support the learning of students with autism, including a COOL Schools partnership which provides year-long visual arts instruction to inclusive groups of students with autism and students in general education classrooms.
