My Project
As a speech-language pathologist, I work with students who have a wide range of communication needs—from using their first words to developing social conversation skills. This project will help me build a collection of high-quality, hands-on materials that make learning fun, functional, and engaging for every student.
I am seeking resources that support expressive and receptive language, articulation, social communication, and early literacy.
These may include interactive books, vocabulary card sets, sentence-building activities, articulation tools, and social skills games that promote real-world communication. I am also seeking materials to help me organize into bins to make utilizing resources more efficient.
Hands-on materials give my students the opportunity to touch, manipulate, and engage with language in meaningful ways—something that's especially powerful for young learners, students with autism, and those with limited verbal expression.
With your support, this project will bring dynamic, multisensory resources into my speech room, helping my students build their communication skills with confidence and joy.
