My Project

Dear Donors,

My name is Shira Berliant and I am a Speech Pathologist for Baltimore City Public Schools.

I am reaching out to share an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of speech and language students. As a Speech Pathologist in the therapy room, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible strides these students can make with the right resources.

My therapy room is in need of additional materials to enhance the learning experience for my students. These materials, ranging from interactive games and visual aids to specialized tools, play a crucial role in developing and honing their speech and language skills. By contributing to this cause, you are directly empowering these students to overcome communication challenges and build a foundation for a brighter future.

Speech and language materials provide a structured and engaging environment for targeted learning. They will allow me to tailor my approach to each student's unique needs, ensuring that they receive personalized support on their journey to improved communication. Visual aids and interactive games not only make learning enjoyable but also facilitate a multi-sensory approach, catering to various learning styles.

Your support will enable me to create a dynamic and effective learning environment, fostering improved communication skills for my students. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their lives and contribute to their success.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Your generosity is instrumental in empowering these students to find their voices and communicate with confidence.

Best regards,

Shira Berliant, CCC-SLP
