My Project

I work with students from preschool age up to 5th grade. I have students who are working on speaking more clearly, more fluently, more appropriately, and more accurately. I work with children who have severe needs and are unable to verbally communicate with others. As you can imagine, this is very frustrating for them! These students need many of the items I'm requesting, such as interactive toys like the fidgets, bubble toys, and sand toy. The more items I have for them to request, the more they indicate their wants, either through an iPad, a picture, or a sign.

Students who are working on learning how to communicate better need an environment that is safe, fun, accepting, and caring.

These items I'm requesting assist making my environment a safe and fun one for all of my students. Thank you!
