Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My classroom is full of the most amazing students in the world! They all have low incidents disabilities, so we spend our educational day learning to do the things most of us take for granted. One of those tasks is learning how to communicate when using your voice is not an option.

I am creating this project in the hope of obtaining 2 iPads that will help facilitate classroom communication.

The use of iPads for communication has revolutionized the way students interact and connect with their world. With the help of specialized apps and features, my students with communication difficulties, such as speech impairments or language disorders, can learn how to express themselves more effectively and engage in meaningful conversations with the world around them.
