My Students

I’m a speech therapist at a Title I school in an urban area. I’ve been at the same school for over 25 years and serve over 50 children. Even though my job gets more challenging every year due to my students’ needs continuing to increase, I stay because of all the amazing kids I get to work with.

Even though a large portion of my children can’t speak and have significant physical and medical concerns, each and every one of them perseveres to find a way to communicate, even if it’s a facial expression or giggle.

They challenge and encourage me every day. But mostly, they make me smile every day; in person and virtually!

My Project

My Title I School continues to remain 100% virtual. While at home, my students do not have access to iPads and the apps we use to address their speech and language needs. This iPad would allow me to share educational and speech- language therapy apps that target goals on their IEPs. The children will be able to see their favorite, interactive apps over our virtual learning platform. This will allow them to take advantage of these learning tools while learning from home. This iPad will be another piece of technology that will enhance their virtual learning experience.
