My Project
I teach some of the most incredible individual students. All of them are currently considered nonverbal. They can communicate in their own ways, such as through cries and laughter. Some know and have learned sign language, but sadly I do not currently know much, which is why I am asking for the flashcards.
Voice Activation Commence!
With your help, each student will be given their own individual switch with a prerecorded message, such as "Hello (Name)." This is why I am asking for the 12 voice buttons. In addition, I am asking for an adapted switch with a bubble toy because my students love bubbles, and it will be easy for them to activate it independently or with some help to get pleasure from their favorite toy (bubbles). Thank you for considering helping my students' voices matter!
