Introducing our Student Teachers
Meet Matthew
Matthew is 12 years old and he is an amazing, intelligent and creative young man. He has a remarkable ability to dive deep into topics that truly fascinate him. Matthew is full of interesting knowledge and ideas, often about subjects that most people don’t know much about. His curiosity and enthusiasm make him a joy to work with.
Matthew has been working hard to learn how to use his voice for writing, along with assistive technology, to help him cope in middle school. This journey is challenging and requires lots of training, persistence, and effort, but we’re continuing to work hard together to make the technology more effective for him.
What makes Matthew stand out is his excitement for sharing his knowledge. He is confident and expansive when teaching or talking about topics he’s passionate about. This confidence shines through as he becomes the Expert in our Power of Voice for Writing course. His progress and insight are inspiring, and we’re incredibly proud to have him as our first student teacher.
Look out for Matthew’s contributions as he continues to lead the way in our program—he’s a trailblazer, and we’re so excited to see what he’ll accomplish next!
Meet Martina
Martina is 12 years old, and she is creative, caring, intelligent, and determined. She’s a motivated and hard-working student who always strives to do her best and loves helping others whenever she can. Martina has been with us from the very beginning—she was one of the very first participants in our rhythmic movement program and she shines as our Student Star in those early days.
Now, Martina is joining us as a student teacher, and we’re thrilled to see her passion and energy as she takes on this exciting new position where she’ll be helping teach specific movements and strategies from our rhythmic movement approach. She’ll also be helping teach technology strategies as she continues to grow in her role.Martina is just getting started, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch her grow in this next chapter of her journey with us!
Meet Joey
Joey is a bright and thoughtful nine-year-old student who has been working on building his confidence in expressing his ideas. While he can be a bit shy when talking to others, he has made great progress in using his voice and sharing his thoughts. Through the use of assistive technology and supportive strategies, Joey has been developing new ways to communicate effectively and showcase what he knows. We are excited to have him join our webinars and training sessions, where he will demonstrate the techniques he has learned. We look forward to teachers and other supportive adults encouraging him as he continues to grow in confidence and share his knowledge.
