Non-verbal students are unable to speak, but that doesn’t mean they don't have anything to say! My class is classified as "Multiple Disabilities". Most of students are non-verbal or their language is extremely limited or repetitive. They have physical struggles that are almost impossible to ease. However, they are a happy bunch who enjoy learning new things, going on field trips, dancing, and making everyone around them a happier human being. Our school is a fabulous place of learning. It is a NYC Specialized School in a high poverty area of the South Bronx. Our school teaches additional living and career skills for students who have multiple disabilities. Like most schools in New York City the financial funding is limited to basic school needs. My students face cognitive, physical, and emotional challenges that many of us will never have to encounter everyday. They are brave, resilient, eager to learn, and come to school with a positive attitude each and every day.
