My Project

I work at a Magnet School, in the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. I am a speech-language pathologist who is servicing students Pre-K through 8th grade. The population of these students range in disabilities containing Autism, Intellectual and Learning Impairments. My job is to increase a student's ability to communicate by using pictures and/or words. In addition, these pictures will increase their ability to use speech by vocalizing and verbalizing words. A laminator and laminator sheets will protect these pictures and increases a student's consistent use when communicating in their academic and home settings. I appreciate any assistance in supporting my speech-language students by contributing to a laminator and laminator sheets. Thank you!

These students rely on pictures to increase their core vocabulary repertoire in communicating their wants and needs.
