Listening Center An EJ Autism Foundation grant recently provided special education teacher Crystal Ann Chiari with a new listening center in her classroom at Connetquot Elementary School. The donation, one of six grants during the 2013-2014 school year from EJ Autism to district teachers, was part of EJ Autism’s continuing efforts to support East Islip’s schools and special needs programs across Long Island that work with children diagnosed with autism.

With the listening center, Chiari’s students are able to listen to a story and answer simple comprehension questions or complete listening activities. The latter aid the students by improving their attention skills, giving them simple directives such as finding a picture and coloring it a certain color, or finding a picture, listening to the given word and writing the word below the correct picture. “In the type of classroom I
have, we are in small groups for the majority of the day,” explained Chiari. “I added the listening center into our small group rotation for our English language arts block so that students could have the opportunity to practice listening comprehension and be exposed to higherlevel books, providing them as well with a positive model of reading fluency. My students love listening to stories and completing tasks independently.”
