Communication for Early Learners

Help me give my students access to a device to help my student with special needs verbalize their needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alicia's classroom raised $293

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students may have severe special needs. The students have a hard time verbalizing to communicate with me or my peers. To help students get their wants and needs met, we use different adaptive resources.

The Dual-Message Communicator tool will help the students use their communication skills and work on basic foundational skills needed to communicate.

This switch item will provide a cause and effect for the students to start learning the meaning of using a big mac switch button. This will help them communicate in the future with anyone about their wants and needs.
