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
My students are amazing and always come to school eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds, and many on my caseload are being exposed to and learning English for the first time. They attend a large inner-city school with one hundred percent of them receiving free breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
The students I serve have a wide variety of disabilities, which impact their ability to communicate.
Some of these students are non-verbal or have a limited vocabulary. Others have diagnoses such as autism or Down syndrome. Many others exhibit speech sound and/or language disorders. All of these children respond most effectively to a multi-sensory instruction style.
My goal is to engage my students in learning with the help of a projector. This year I share a room with another SLP and I am unable to turn off the lights. I am hoping to get this project funded since this type of projector would allow the lights to remain on. The projector will brighten their learning and increase their engagement. It will be used to stream and view various videos, stories, music, and digital materials that focus on targeting their individual speech and language goals.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
