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

What I love most about my speech therapy students is their determination and the joy they bring to every session. Each of my students is unique, and it’s an incredible privilege to help them express themselves and grow in confidence. My students are working hard to find their voices to communicate with the world around them.

The resources I’m requesting will help make speech therapy more engaging and interactive for my students.

These visual supports, games, articulation tools, and language-building materials will allow me to meet each child’s individual needs while keeping sessions fun and motivating. These tools will support a wide range of goals, from helping nonverbal students communicate, to building vocabulary and sentence structure for those with language delays.

With your support, I can create a learning environment where every child feels empowered, supported, and proud of their progress.
