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
An iPad will open doors for my students by providing interactive, multisensory learning experiences. Many of my students have speech and communication challenges, and access to AAC apps like Proloquo2Go, TouchChat, and LAMP Words for Life will help them express themselves.
Speech therapy apps like Articulation Station and Speech Blubs will support language development, while Boom Cards will provide engaging, interactive lessons tailored to their needs.
This device will also offer text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and fine motor skill development tools, ensuring accessibility for all learners. An iPad will make learning more engaging, personalized, and empowering for my students!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
