I need access to a computer to create culturally responsive and differentiated materials for my students. I need access to a computer for data tracking, progress monitoring, report writing, and professional development webinars.
I am requesting a new MacBook to use during my speech/language therapy sessions and to create materials to use during our sessions as well. My students are special needs preschoolers who have a variety of diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorder, receptive and expressive language disorders, attention deficit, difficulties with self-regulation, and neurodivergent learners. I need access to a computer for data tracking, progress monitoring, report writing, and professional development webinars. My students all benefit from instruction that is created specifically for their needs. To provide them with materials and access to technology to meet their needs, I need a new, reliable laptop.
My special needs preschoolers benefit from differentiated and culturally responsive materials that I create on Boardmaker, Boom Cards, and other educational websites.
My current laptop glitches, turns off randomly, and flickers. I need a new reliable way to take notes, engage students, and create material to support their individualized learning as well as my professional development.
Thank you in advance for your consideration, kindness, and generosity.
