My Students
Image that you cannot get your message across. You are asked multiple times to repeat yourself; the frustration begins to grow. You repeat louder, "Omas the Ain. I ove Omas the Ain." You want the world to know that you "love Thomas the Train," but, try as you might, the recipient just doesn't comprehend what you are saying. I see a variety of students for speech therapy whose goals range from learning how to produce a correct speech sound to obtaining a better grasp of language to learning strategies to help reduce stuttering.
My students are learning how to better communicate with others while building confidence in their abilities.
I serve students ranging from Kindergarten to 6th grade, each one has their own challenges and different goals that they are working on. They have a desire to increase their ability to communicate in the classroom with their teacher and peers as well as use their skills in everyday life.
My Project
As a first year Speech Language Pathologist, I am excited to provide hands-on materials that are as diverse as my students. The iPad in a shatterproof case will allow all my students to access therapy materials online without the worry of it accidently falling and breaking. I will be able to fully focus on my student and not have the stressing thought in the back of my mind, "Don't let it fall!" I already have many apps that will help my students achieve their goals ready to download, all I need is the iPad.
The donations I am requesting will benefit all my students and make therapy more appealing with hand-on supplies, books, and activities.
I will be able to build my collection of therapy materials, which will provide my students with engaging materials focusing on their specific goals. The articulation cards provide visually stimulation material that can be used to in a variety of ways to focus on specific sounds and can be used with all ages. The books will provide language rich therapy to help my students acquire skills to improve their communication abilities. My students concentrate better during therapy when they have something to manipulate, and this is where the hand-on supplies are essential. Whether it is a conversational group ensuring their new speech sounds carryover in every day speech or motivation for a young student to stay on task, all the supplies will be put to good use.
More than half of students from low‑income households
