In a partnership with Arcanum Elementary School, Opportunity 13 is demonstrating their desire to give back to others through hands-on educational activities with elementary students with multiple disabilities. This Ohio Learn and Serve partnership addresses the elementary students’ needs including academic, social and daily living awareness. Opportunity 13 students design and implement learning activities including puppet shows, social interaction training, and sensory integration. The use of visuals and hands-on experiences has had a positive impact on retention of concepts and the student’s ability to apply what they have learned in various settings.
The high school students work closely with the elementary students on improving their confidence and independence. Opportunity 13 students are also gaining experience and skills using video technology. Their video creations will be used with the Arcanum class for teaching appropriate social skills.
