My Students
I am a Speech/Language Pathologist at two elementary schools. I love my job because I get to work with great students from preschool to 6th grade. Many of my students have severe communication needs. Some of them are nonverbal. I also work with students with pragmatic language needs, others with specific sound disorders, and still others who are dysfluent. There is a wide range of disabilities in the group. That is what makes every day so exciting! Each student is different and needs different tasks, motivation, and reinforcement.
I love helping my students become better at communicating, no matter their level.
Their communication abilities are so closely linked to their success in the classroom. I love finding different ways to motivate them and help them learn, sometimes when they are not even aware that they are learning!
My Project
As a speech pathologist that works with students from preschool to 6th grade with their communication needs, I am always looking for effective ways to keep a student's interest as they learn how to better communicate with peers and adults around them.
I am hoping to receive these language kits, in particular, because they can be used in multiple ways to spark interest in my speech language students.
I like the bright colors of the pictures, and the manipulatives, which always make learning more fun. I feel children of a large range of ages would be interested in using these language kits to talk about /wh/ questions, categorizing words, and learning new, meaningful vocabulary.
