NAMPA, Idaho Inside Owyhee Elementary School in Nampa, Tiffany Sturges and her paraprofessionals are working with some of the youngest students. It s busy, Sturges said. They re a busy group of super fun kiddos. We have K-3 in our room.
Sturges is an extended resource teacher. She explains her students may have autism, down syndrome, or a traumatic brain injury. I call them little angels trapped in a body, because they re just the sweetest things ever and just need to be taught how to live every day lives, Sturges said. We do a lot of functional academic - learning money, learning one-to-one correspondence, even like toileting assistance. Just everything they need to know to live day-to-day.
