Communication is a daily focus in my classroom. It is an essential part of daily living. It is how we connect with one another. Many of my students are nonverbal. They do their best to communicate using sign language, pointing and form approximations to words. They often become frustrated because they are not understood and cannot communicate their thoughts and feelings adequately due to not having the words. For some this is due to difficulties with expressively language or articulation. For others, it is because of oral motor difficulties so they are not able to move their mouths to form sounds, lead alone words to express themselves.
By donating to our project, you will be providing a voice to every student in my classroom. You will be changing their lives by helping them be heard and understood through the use of picture communication boards. With the use of an assistive technology app, this iPad will be used solely for communication purposes so my students can communicate and demonstrate their knowledge and understanding as well as socialize during play time.
