My Students
I’m a speech therapist at an elementary school. The student population is a mix of Asian and Hispanic children. Many of them come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and many are satellite babies. My students often don’t have a lot of exposure to the outside world. Their parents work hard and don’t have time to take them to places. Their vocabulary is limited. My job is to help with their expressive and receptive language skills. These are very respectful and hard-working children who deserve the best we can offer.
My Project
The materials I plan to purchase are going to be used to provide students with visual supports for the speech and language strategies that I will be teaching them. Speech therapy is very individualized and it is very difficult for me to create my own material for each student. The materials I purchase will help me to be able to target each student’s needs in the best way. I use sequencing cards to teach them how to describe pictures and formulate sentences and use transition words. I use photo cards for many different language tasks, such as syntax and morphology and vocabulary. The word flip books will help children to learn to blend sounds to read words. Nothing I buy will go to waste.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
