Mrs. Vaal’s Classroom Edit display name

I work with students who are non-verbal and/or face challenges socially and need pictures to help them communicate. These challenges are a huge barrier to them being as independent as possible after high school. Without a voice it is difficult to express your wants, needs, desires, etc and be independent. These books and games will help them learn to communicate emotions and how they are feeling, what they want whether that is food, objects, clothing, places they would like to go around the community, family/community members and more. I need these books and games to help students practice communication within the high school to prepare them for the real world outside of school. With a way to communicate these students have better chances at employment and independent living. These books and games will help them get there.
