Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am the Speech Language Pathologist supporting some amazing student learners at Spring Valley Science School. Our students are engaged and ready to learn but sometimes struggle with speech and/or language issues that makes it more difficult for them to fully participate in the classroom environment. Students at our school are from Spanish or Cantonese speaking families. Over 50% receive free or reduced student lunch. Online learning since Covid has been a challenge to all families but each has stepped up to partner with classroom teachers and support personnel to provide the best learning environment for their child.
All students want to learn, sometimes we just need to have the right tools to help them do this effectively.
I am requesting an iPad and a copy of LAMP Words for Life in order to best support my students using Augmentative and Alternative Communication due to difficulties in verbal communication.
My Project
Providing communication for non-verbal Students. I am asking for an iPad which will be loaded with AAC software, specifically LAMP Words for Life. Augmentative and Alternative Communication software enables my non-verbal students communicate. This iPad will enable me to model and teach students how best to use the program to allow them to communicate with others for functional communication and also to begin developing friendships.
I will still need to purchase the AAC software but now I will have a device to allow teachers and myself to model communication and interact with the student.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
