My Project
As a school-based speech-language pathologist, I support students with articulation disorders, phonological delays, and apraxia of speech. These students need consistent, hands-on, and engaging practice to produce sounds correctly and carry that accuracy over into their everyday conversations.
Clear speech is about more than just being understood—it helps students participate in class, build relationships, and feel confident in themselves.
Your support will provide the resources needed to help my students find their voices and succeed in school and beyond.
I'm requesting targeted therapy materials that will help students elicit, practice, and generalize their speech sounds in fun and functional ways. They benefit from visual, tactile, and auditory cues—and most of all, from materials that make speech therapy engaging and meaningful. The tools I am requesting will allow me to provide multi-sensory instruction that keep students motivated and help them generalize their new speech skills into real-life settings.
Your support will put high-quality, effective materials directly into the hands of students who need them most—and give them the gift of clear, confident communication.
