My Project

I teach a diverse group of special education students with a wide range of learning needs, including autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and speech and language impairments. My classroom is a safe, supportive space where students receive individualized instruction, assistive technology, and access to resources that help them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Each of my students brings unique strengths, talents, and challenges.

Some are nonverbal and use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. Others benefit from visual supports, specialized software, and multimedia learning. Despite their challenges, they are eager to learn, communicate, and express themselves.

This project will fund a MacBook Pro to enhance accessibility, engagement, and personalized learning. A MacBook provides the power, flexibility, and compatibility we need for specialized apps like:

• Proloquo2Go and other AAC tools

• Text-to-speech and dictation features

• Visual and auditory learning programs

• Creative apps for digital storytelling, music, and art

• Google Classroom and educational platforms that support differentiated instruction

With a MacBook, I can better design and deliver content tailored to each student's needs, while also teaching them essential 21st-century skills.

The Impact

This technology will allow my students to:

• Communicate more independently

• Create digital stories and projects that reflect their unique voices

• Access interactive lessons at their own pace

• Practice life and vocational skills using real-world applications

For students with disabilities, the right technology can be life changing. This MacBook will open up new pathways for learning, expression, and success in and beyond the classroom.

In addition to transforming learning, this project supports climate conscious education by reducing paper waste and creating digital portfolios.

Thank you for supporting inclusive education and giving my students the tools they need to shine.
