Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

Hello!

We are the speech therapist (Sarina Munoz) and occupational therapist (Justine Garcia) in the severe and profound cluster classroom servicing kindergarten to second grade students.

We work on the South-Eastside of Chicago at John L Marsh Elementary. Our goal is to help support our students in accessing their academic goals, therapeutic goals, and to be able to socialize/engage with their peers and classroom/school staff. Our second priority is to show our school and parents that these student are capable of more than their disabilities, and that there is always a way to communicate and participate in their daily lives despite it looking different from their same aged peers.
