My Project

Give my students a voice! Communication is integral for cognitive and social development. All students need to communicate unfortunately many of the students in my moderate to severe special education classroom are nonverbal. Students with limited verbal skills struggle communicate daily wants and needs. With the use of assistive technology such as the Go Talk, all students can participate, answer questions, make request and show what they know. For some of our students, this will be their first exposure to assistive technology to communicate.

Go Talk is easily reprogrammed it can transition from small group instruction to recess, lunch, assemblies etc giving non verbal students the ability to greet friends, answer questions, make request and participate in a variety of settings.
