Let's Talk! Creating a Fun & Functional Speech Room

Help me give my students engaging speech and language tools, from ink for fun printouts, inclusive learning games, and organization that turn speech therapy into an adventure! These resources will help us build communication skills and confidence.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Monlyn's classroom raised $982

My Project

As a speech-language pathologist, I work with students who have diverse communication needs: articulation and language delays to social skills and fluency challenges. My goal is to make speech therapy a safe, supportive, and fun place where students feel empowered to express themselves.

Many of my students benefit from hands-on learnings, visuals, and interactive materials to stay engaged and make meaningful progress.

With your support, I hope to transform my speech room into an inviting, functional space filled with the tools my students need to grow their speech and language skills.

These resources like magnets, games and more will allow me to provide more individualized, effective therapy and bring joy into each session. Whether we're practicing sounds, learning new vocabulary, or playing language-based games, your donation will help my students find their voice and learn to use it with confidence.
