My Project

The students I work with range from preschool to fifth grade, each with unique needs and strengths. They come from diverse backgrounds, and many of them are overcoming barriers such as limited access to resources outside of school. Despite these challenges, they are resilient and eager to improve their speech skills.

Strong communication skills are the foundation for success in school and beyond.

For children with articulation challenges, achieving clear speech can open doors to better academic performance, increased confidence, and meaningful social connections. By supporting this project, you are giving my students the gift of a voice that can be understood and celebrated.
