Miranda is a 4th grader with cerebral palsy, facing challenges in communication, academic skills, and mobility. With an IQ of 38, she has physical limitations affecting her right arm and experiences an unsteady gait, making her educational journey unique. This project incorporates various strategies to meet her needs, such as using an AAC device for communication, allowing creative expression through art, and providing modified assessments. By fostering her imagination and utilizing technology, we aim to enhance Miranda's learning experience in a supportive environment.
