My Project

Give elementary students the gift of their voice, the ability to express themselves and be understood by others. The materials I've selected will help children learn skills to improve their specific speech and language needs. I've chosen materials used by myself and other speech and language providers for years, they are tried and true and will be utilized daily. These materials will make speech and language practice more effective and engaging.

Your support will have a lifelong impact on these children.

Your support will impact students in grades K-6 at multiple schools in Arizona. You will be helping students improve their articulation, speech, language, literacy, and social skills. Your voice is a powerful thing, help children develop theirs.
