Fun Stuff Needed for Speech Success

My Project

Hello and thank you for taking a look at my project!

I have been working as a speech therapist in a public school in the city of New York for the past 23 years.

In the past year, we have had a new wing built with an influx of many new children, many of whom are ELL learners. Our special education population has changed as well, my little ones need much more hands-on learning, with a multi-sensory approach. I spend close to a thousand dollars every year buying materials, supplies, and rewards. I would love to have some support in providing the best service for my little kiddos. So many of them are delayed due to being at home during the crucial years of kindergarten and first grade. Language and communication are affected and the influx of new little people with different needs must have different tools. Books with puppets to encourage language for those who don't like to speak, pretend toys for sorting, grouping, describing, and comparing/contrasting. Hands-on activities to follow directions, such as making our own puppets and reward stickers to help encourage their progress.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
