Engagement ActivitiesThe activities I was engaged in consisted of;

playground time, social skills, living skills, how to wash hands, personal space, and books on tape.

I fulfilled my hours by going every Monday and Tuesday for the first half of the fall semester. I finished the fifteen hours very fast seeing as I was there six hours a day, but kept going even after the 15 hours were completed.

Get ConnectedI got connected with Brookshire Elementary

through my internship 1. This was my first placement of the fall semester.

I started my project by speaking to my teacher about the idea and getting her permission.

Personal DemographicsI have always worked with ESE students.

Throughout high school I participated in numerous Special Olympics as well as assisting special education teachers every Wednesday. My mom is a middle school teacher and every time I would go to work with her, I would always sit through the ESE classes instead. I also did my senior project in high school on Autism.

Participant DemographicsThe participants of this project ranged from age 3

to age 6. There was on ESOL student who spoke more Spanish then English. They were mostly students who had autism but there were also students that were EMH.

These students are considered persons with disabilities according to I.D.E.A. because they had early intervention services and also receive special education services.

I served 6 students with disabilities

Perceptions of Differences/Early PerceptionsI loved every minute of working with ESE students. It

was a pleasure and I can’t wait to make it a full time job.

At first I was very nervous, but as time went on I became very familiar with the classroom. I was scared that I didn’t know what I was doing or that I would do something wrong.

I left this school feeling like I was very prepared for my first year of teaching. I now feel very confident in my skills.

The experience that had the most impact was actually how the students knew my name. The ones that were verbal expressed that they knew who I was and missed me when I wasn’t there. Changing these kids lives is what had the most impact on me.

Connections to Your Course I completed this project for EEX 4763- Technology for Classroom

Teachers of Students with Special Needs I have a much better understanding of how to implement

technology in the classroom, how to use technology to fix behavioral issues, and also how to use technology for rewards and consequences.

I had the opportunity to use a speech synthesizer with one of my students, allowed students to use enlarged print to keep them focused on the task rather then bad behaviors, and also how to use a computer as a reward or take it away as a consequence. Due to these experiences, I now feel like I understand the benefit of using technology.

These experiences can prove to future bosses that I have an understanding of what will work the best to benefit my students.

Civic EngagementVolunteering is such a great way to get involved and help

out the community. It helped me feel so much better about myself as a person and life.

I learned more within this service learning project then I did throughout my whole undergraduate degree classes alone.

This experience helped me want to become more engaged in the special education setting and made me so anxious to start my own classroom!

I would absolutely recommend service learning to other students. It was a great experience that helped me become the teacher that I am going to be. It helped me love this job even more.

Final Thoughts/ReflectionI learned so much about assistive technology

and can’t wait to be able to implement it in the future.

My future steps are to go to grad school and to become an ESE teacher!
