Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

I am a speech-language pathologist who provides services to a school that is filled with hardworking and kind students in pre-k through 8th grade. I want to provide my students with the speech therapy supplies and tools needed to create engaging sessions, as well as an organized learning environment.

Providing my students with these art supplies, organizational tools and books will allow us to have more fun, engaging, and efficient speech therapy sessions in a positive learning environment.

I strive to create engaging, impactful, and organized speech therapy sessions to increase my students learning and independence. This project will give me the means to offer my students an organized classroom and fun visual arts activities as I support them in becoming more effective communicators. Thank you for helping make this project come to life!
