New Language Learners

Help me give my students hands on learning toys to develop language skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Saks's classroom raised $174

My Project

I am a speech language pathologist in a Title I School. I have the privilege of working with a diverse group of students who have a diverse set of needs! Not only do I work with my caseload of English speaking student, I work with immigrant students. The students who have immigrated here are working on speech and language difficulties in both languages.

Being able to provided materials such as toys for early language learners is crucial for the children's development.

These toys such as cars, sensory mats, and tactile toys will allow me to develop therapy plans so that the children can practice targeted speech and language skills.
