My Project

Our speech therapy classroom is in need of some essential sensory items to enhance the learning experience and provide a more inclusive space for students with varying needs. These items will not only help calm and focus students, but they will also play a crucial role in improving their communication skills and overall progress. From tactile fidget toys to sound-dampening headphones and visual aids, each donation will make a direct impact on a child’s ability to engage and thrive during therapy sessions.

We’re calling on the community to come together and help us fill our classroom with tools that will foster growth, confidence, and success.

Your generous donation can provide a child with the resources they need to overcome speech challenges and build the skills they’ll carry with them for life. Whether you can contribute items, funds, or even share our cause, every little bit makes a big difference! Thank you for being a part of this important journey.
