My Project

Communication is one of the most important skills young children develop—but for many of my students with disabilities in kindergarten through 3rd grade, speaking and understanding language doesn't come easily. I support amazing kids with autism, developmental delays, and speech and language disorders who are working hard every day to find their voice.

These early years are a critical time for building the foundations of communication.

With your help, I can provide developmentally appropriate, engaging materials that make learning to communicate both fun and effective. Visual supports, interactive games, early language books, AAC tools, and hands-on activities will help my students practice essential skills like using words to express their needs, following directions, improving their articulation, and engaging in conversations with peers.

Your support will help these young learners build not just their speech and language skills, but also their confidence, independence, and ability to connect with the world around them. Every child deserves the chance to be heard—thank you for helping them speak up with confidence!
