My Project

Playing speech games will make a big difference in my students’ learning by making therapy fun and engaging. These games encourage practice in a low-pressure, interactive way that helps build their communication skills naturally. When students enjoy what they’re doing, they participate more and gain confidence which accelerates their progress.

My goal with this project is to provide a variety of motivating speech games that target important skills like articulation, language, and social communication.

These games will give my students more opportunities to practice speaking in ways that feel like play, helping them improve while staying excited about learning.

My students are truly special because each one brings their own unique voice, strengths, and challenges. They work hard every day to express themselves and connect with others, showing courage and determination that inspire me constantly. Supporting their growth means helping these amazing kids find their confidence and joy in communication.
