My Project

I was fortunate to receive an iPad from my district 10+ years ago as a tool for my students to use in working on their speech and language skills during therapy. Unfortunately that iPad is now outdated and no longer working. There are so many great apps that have been purchased on the iPad to help students work on their speech and language skills. The iPad is something that motivates them so they don't even know that they are doing work sometimes. If you find it in your heart, please help me to purchase new iPads for my classrooms so my students can continue to grow their communication skills.
