Sometimes it is hard for kids with special needs to use their fingers. Some of these apps discussed on this site help students use their fingers by tracing letters or spelling their name on a tablet. This site offers apps for math, reading, matching, spelling, memory, and more. Special education kids might need a little bit more stimulation during their learning instead of pencil and paper. Touch tablets allow them to stay interested by learning hands-on and seeing rewards visually.

I LOVE this site!!! I believe in standing up and moving between subjects. Kids' brains need breaks to become stimulated and to get oxygen every once in a while. Brain breaks also give students something fun to look forward to after hard work. This site allows teachers to create a playlist of fun brain breaks. These are great to reduce antsy behaviors and to keep kids with special needs in line.

I love this site for an online animal research project! My favorite projects during my K-12 days were animal research projects. This site would be perfect for K-5 kiddos to explore many different animals and discover which one they want to create a research project on.

This video is visually stimulating for students with Austism. Other students will find this video educational as well. The variety in the video keeps kids interested. The video shares social stories, like how to wash your hands. The video also introduces letters and letter sounds. This video would be a good brain break video.

This template can simply be turned into from a daily template to a weekly template. I love the cutesiness of it for an elementary school teacher. It is organized with the spelling words of the week and times that each subject begins and ends.

Traditional teacher professional development depends on external training handed down to teachers after having identified their weaknesses as a professional. If you're not so great at teacher writing, or if assessment is becoming a bigger focus in your school or district, you fill out a growth plan of some sort, attend your training, get your certificates, and repeat until you've got your hours or your school has run out of money to send you to more training.
