Celebrating 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
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is a tool by which non or limited verbal individuals can communicate. As the SLP at the elementary school, I support multiple students who will benefit from an AAC device. The district has limited iPads to trial AAC software, and then when a student does receive the device with the appropriate application, there is not a tool for the teacher and student support to use along side the student to model and communicate with them using the tool. (Note: the student's AAC device is not intended for communal use just as one's voice is not).
I would like to provide an iPad with the AAC software for myself, teachers, and paraprofessionals to use alongside the students.
I have personally purchased the AAC software to be installed on the iPad but this request is to purchase an iPad with big enough memory to hold the software. Thank you.
