Technically Speaking: Speech Students Need iPads!

My students need technology, such as these 3 iPads and headphones, to support their learning. My students need new motivating books to improve their language and literacy skills.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." I am one of six speech language pathologists in a urban elementary school. Many of my students have expressive language delays and are struggling readers and writers.

My school is located in a diverse community, and many students are English Language Learners.

I am lucky to work with students across the grades, K-5, in our speech room. In a school of over 2000 students, about 180 students have a speech-language disability. Despite the struggles the students face, they remain motivated and optimistic about school. By funding these 3 iPads, headphones and new books, students will improve their literacy skills and overall language abilities.

My Project

Many students learn best with technology. Technology allows for differentiation of materials and to meet the needs of kids with different learning styles. Many of my students are struggling readers and the use of technology allows for kids to listen to texts as well as read.

By donating, you can help change the lives of the students I work with.

Technology is a powerful tool that can motivate and engage students. Most importantly, it can improve my kids literacy skills by appealing to their learning styles. Thank you!
