My Project

We have a special autism program at my school called PAL. My students love Music, but sometimes it is difficult for some of them to communicate their wants and needs verbally. If we had an iPad, I could put apps on it that they could use to talk to me more easily in Music class.

This Apple iPad would allow my PAL students to communicate their Music class wants and needs through AAC apps such as Proloquo2Go and CoughDrop.

Using the iPad will help me communicate with them about Music as well as target their functional language goals in a fun and interactive way!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
