My students are similar in that they are all in elementary school and come from low-income homes. They also all have a disability or significant delay in their speech and/or language development. However, they are each unique in their skill sets, interests, and strengths. My job, as their teacher of speech improvement, is to ensure that each one learns strategies to help them communicate and learn to the best of their abilities.
Having a disability and limited resources can limit a child's ability to progress, learn, and succeed; however, the generosity of those more fortunate can make all the difference in the lives of my students.
Due to the range of my students' disabilities, it becomes necessary to obtain various types of resources that can best aid them in their speech and language skill-building. These resources, while necessary, can be pricey and unaffordable to children whose families have limited resources. I am therefore reaching out to those who are committed to the future and understand the significance of supporting those in need.
My Project
My speech students are as varied in personality and size as they are in ability and learning styles. They are in kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth grades. Some of them can read fluently but have difficulty sharing the information. Some love to play and attempt to connect with others but lack the required verbal skills to do so.
All of these children can learn and succeed, however, they each require a unique approach with specific materials and supplies.
Each one requires a specific toy, game, book, or craft that can be used to help them reach the greatest level of successful communication.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
