My Project

Help bring joy, music, and meaningful connection to students learning to find their voices! I’m a speech-language pathologist at a Title I elementary school, and I work with incredible students who need a little extra support with communication. In my therapy sessions with students with more intensive needs, I like to use play-based, screen-free tools to build language, express emotions, and grow confidence. Many of my students benefit from sensory-friendly resources that make learning feel safe, fun, and magical.

This Toniebox and its character figures will add music, stories, and smiles to our sessions; helping students strengthen vocabulary, listening skills, and expressive language through engaging, screen-free audio play.

Thank you for being part of their journey!
