In today’s classrooms, finding innovative and effective ways to engage students of all abilities is more important than ever.
Ms. Myrick, an educator with the Preschool Services for Children with Disabilities at DoDEA, shares how QTrobot has become a powerful new tool in her classroom — helping students with special needs develop vital life skills.
“QT is the extension of what we can do in the classroom.”
QTrobot is more than just a friendly face — it’s an additional teaching tool that helps reach students in ways traditional methods sometimes cannot.
According to Ms. Myrick, QTrobot is used for teaching real-world skills such as:
- How to greet people
- How to play with friends
- Building general vocabulary
- Managing emotions and calming down when upset
QTrobot also supports diverse learning styles, making it easier to reach students who are non-verbal or more auditory learners. For many children, QTrobot offers a predictable, non-threatening interaction that encourages participation and builds confidence.
Most importantly, QTrobot is helping students find their own way of learning — setting them up for success not just in school, but throughout their lives.
“If I could have one for every little person in my classroom, I totally would. It’s about finding the way they learn and giving them what they need to continue learning throughout their life.”
