A Smart board in the classroom will be the main communication vehicle with the students. It will meet the students needs to provide the answer to a question by selecting a choice on the Smart board and placing in it in the corresponding place. The students receptive communication skills are almost at age-level. Therefore, the use of technology will increase their level of participation with interactive opportunities to actively participate wit nonverbal options. Additionally the technology embedded in the Smart board meets the students' needs corresponding to poor fine motor skills resulting from their disabilities. Given that all students in my classroom have an IEP (Individualized Educational Program) in which support such as the use of visuals, manipulatives, larger font, contrasting colors, among others, the Smart board will be the perfect tool to meet those needs. All of my students are also ELL's (English Language Learners) who need additional language support in both English and Spanish. This technology will allow me access to existing interactive materials that promote development in all content areas and in daily functional skills. Please consider helping these particularly vulnerable students in great need. Their parents and I appreciate your generosity in advance. My project intends to use technology to give a voice to highly motivated students who need alternative ways of communication.
