My Project
Hello! Please help my update my outdated technology to provider faster and more reliable outcome for my students.
Many of my students are nonspeaking and use communication apps to express themselves, as a preschool provider I use iPads to trial communication apps to provide them their first opportunity for self-expression.
I am requesting an iPad with a modern ios to speed up my communication apps and help my students learn to communicate.
I am requesting a stylist and keyboard in order to take notes and monitor progress. Progress monitoring ensures that my students are making appropriate gains. It provides evidence for funding personal devices that they can use until they are able to communicate and advocate for themselves independently. Progress monitoring is accountability and ensures that my students are getting the best education and what they deserve.
