Ms. Freeman from Georgetown SC is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Let’s Talk!

My students need iPods so they communicate with a symbol-based communication app that gives a voice to those who cannot speak, have severe sound production difficulties, or severely stutter.

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 Students

My students are pre-kindergarten to second grade that attend a low-income school in low country school in South Carolina. They have speech-language disorders (language disorders, speech sound disorders, stuttering,) that are impacted by their autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, learning disabilities. Their range of communication is non-verbal to communicating by using voice in sentences. They desire to talk to their peers and teachers are STRONG. Unfortunately, our school has limited funding and a great deal of the communication apps are Apple products only.

My Project

My students need help with communicating their wants, needs, and ideas. iPods can help them communicate with a symbol-based communication app that gives a voice to those who cannot speak, have severe sound production, or severely stutter. My students need a variety of ways to communicate. While voice, American Sign Language, picture symbols, and communication board are ways to increase language, today society technology is another way. Speech-language impaired students need access to apps that target: expressive language, receptive language, social language, sound production, and voice output for students who have no voice. These students would love to have a voice so that they can communicate and access their education at my school. iPods Touch and apps would give them a voice.
