My Project

My students come from many different backgrounds. Some have severe trauma and some come from supportive homes; all have communication delays. Despite their obstacles, they love coming to school, they work hard, and are so grateful. Should my order be fulfilled, I will use every item to enhance therapy services and promote the highest level of communication development for each of my students.

I have exciting plans to refresh my therapy sessions with highly engaging activities, such as themed sensory bins, games, and interactive flash cards.

I will also utilize the laminating sheets, Velcro, folders, and pens to create visuals to support my Autistic students. Additionally, I plan to use the mouth replica/puppet to model correct oral placement and the phone to provide auditory feedback during articulation intervention. Due to the small size of my therapy room, I’m not able to have a peanut ball to help facilitate accurate articulation of some sounds. Rather, I plan to utilize the ball chair in therapy with students to elicit “R” and as my work chair. Lastly, I plan to utilize the emotional and SEL-specific materials, as well as Dum Dums to teach and reinforce positive and healthy behavior development during my sessions.

These materials will have an incredibly positive impact on over 50 students at a low-income school who have disabilities ranging from articulation delays and stuttering to Autism and cognitive impairment.
