Effective and Exciting Speech and Language Therapy

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn through play and have materials that will excite their imagination and bring out their expressive language.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mattioli's classroom raised $691

My Project

Children that qualify for speech and language therapy have difficulty communicating their thoughts and ideas freely.

I have the best students.

They work so hard everyday to meet their goals. Having materials to engage and excite them when they are working towards their goal, is key to getting "buy in" and enjoyment out of therapy. Speech and language therapy can be dull and boring, but with exciting toys and materials, it can be engaging and fun, even when it is difficult.

Having appropriate and engaging materials makes the hard work of therapy easier for the students will promote faster progress.
