My students are 3-5 year old kiddos with special needs, such as developmental delays, speech/language/articulation delays, and autism. They are amazing kids with great potential for learning speech/language skills. These students require hands on materials to engage multiple senses. By having enough resources, our children can take their speech and language to the next level. We want to instill excitement and motivation to continue learning. With your help we can provide these materials to bridge the path to greatness!
My Project
Who doesn't like using hands-on manipulatives to learn?! My students need more objects to maintain their interest and enhance their speech and language skills. Objects, fidgets, and manipulatives make learning fun and engaging. These materials will give my students opportunities to expand their vocabulary and enhance their language skills, all while having fun and keeping their little hands busy. It is difficult to find age-appropriate materials that my students can use that are easily sanitized and can remain free of germs. All of these materials can be used to teach a variety of goals, including basic concepts and category knowledge, as well as use multiple sense to stimulate learning. They will enhance their learning opportunities by fully engaging them in their environment. These materials will greatly enhance the experiences my students by keeping them engaged and on task.
