Hatch Gives A Non-Verbal Student The Opportunity To Show He Can Learn
Working with non-verbal students is one of the greatest challenges any special education teacher will face. It can be difficult knowing what’s effective when the student isn’t able to express him or herself. But teachers have found that Hatch technology is often a good way to reach these students and allow them to show their abilities. Here’s just one example – a “Breakthrough Moment” – from a special education teacher in Mercer County, West Virginia:
“One student that I had couldn’t speak, but he could get on the Hatch computer and navigate through almost any program. It was just amazing to watch him. Had he not had that opportunity and someone to give him that opportunity, and allow him to use the computer, he may never have learned how. Sometimes you may have a student who is either physically handicapped or mentally challenged to the degree that everybody thinks they just sit there. But you know, you have to give them opportunities, and Hatch has allowed those students to have just that.”
Hatch is all about giving students the best opportunities to succeed and achieve their potential. Read the full story about Mercer County, WV’s Breakthrough Moments and more incredible early learning success stories.
