Students with communication difficulties have a great deal to share, but struggle to express what they want to say. Some children are unable to verbalize anything, making it difficult for them to get their basic wants and needs met. Once you give them a "voice" through pictures, you'll be amazed by their thoughts, knowledge, and understanding of the world around them. By donating to our project, you will not only help them improve their communication skills, but you will give them the "voice" they so desperately want and need to communicate even the most basic wants and needs with parents, teachers, and peers. Families will be able to communicate with their children in ways they never thought possible.
