Flipping Out In Speech And Language

My students need a Flip camcorder to hear and see themselves as part of their speech and language therapy.

My Students

Imagine struggling to speak clearly, to understand the "unwritten" social rules of the classroom or playground, or to complete simple tasks for self sufficiency. These are the challenges my students face every day.

I work with students in third through fifth grade at an inclusive elementary school.

The children I help have varying needs and abilities. Some students struggle to speak clearly and need help so their teachers and friends understand them. This is what most people think of when they think of a "speech teacher", but I also teach children how to navigate the often tricky social part of life. This can be how to "read" body language and facial expressions, understanding sarcasm and figurative language, and seeing a situation from another' perspective. The students I work with who have ASD (autism spectrum disorder) are learning to communicate so that someday they can be independent, functioning members of the community. Other students I assist may struggle to organize their thoughts and ideas into a cohesive narrative. For these children their school work often does not reflect their true ability.

My Project

Visual are very powerful for children with communication difficulties. With a simple to use video recorder, my students can watch and listen to their articulation, leading to improved self-monitoring. Students can act out social scenarios showing the right and the wrong way to act. Students with autism learning to follow a sequenced routine can watch a video of themselves or someone else performing that same task before they complete the task. These are but a few ways this technology can help my current and future students improve communication and social independence.

My students love to use technology.

A chance to use the computer in speech and language is a huge treat. Imagine their delight to star in and share videos of what we have worked on in speech. These videos can be shared with families and classmates, as well as utilized for future students. Please consider helping my Speech and Language Stars shine in their videos with the aid of a Flip video camcorder.
