My Project

This project will help me cut, laminate, and bind pages in order to create materials that will help support my students' articulation, fluency, literacy, and receptive and expressive language goals. I often print pages to create flashcards, posters for different visual cues, and stories or books. Having a paper cutter, laminator, and binding machine will allow me to cut, laminate, and bind these materials so I can use them effectively with many different speech therapy groups. These materials will help me provide quality therapy and will support my students in reaching their communication goals.
