My Students

I work with multiple levels of speech and communication delays within multiple grade levels. Some children only communicate through picture boards and assistive technology devices. Some students may have social-emotional roles while others have articulation and language delays.

Every single student of mine loves listening to a story and focus more on activities that surround a story.

While we have been distance learning, we have persevered through teletherapy and one-to-one sessions. All the activities that are interactive on-screen help keep the children focused and engaged.

My Project

All of these items will be used to initiate communication with my students via teletherapy or one-to-one sessions. This will allow them to be engaged interactively using the story-based theme. Each item within this project can be integrated with my assistive technology devices to benefit my verbal and nonverbal students. These items will also prove beneficial to my students with speech and language delays.

The storybooks will be a great complement with my story boards!

Teachers Pay Teachers has fantastic resources for Boom Cards and other teletherapy resources. All of these items will be used to benefit my students as they improve in reading, writing, and speaking.
