Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I am a speech-language pathologist who works at an elementary school (Kindergarten-2nd grade) and middle school (7th-8th graders) in Ferguson, Missouri. Many of my students come from low-income families and have a variety of special needs, including autism, intellectual disabilities, down syndrome, social-emotional needs, etc. They work on a variety of goals, including articulation, understanding and answering questions, vocabulary, formulating sentences, social language, appropriate play, and engaging in conversations with peers and adults. My students are hard working kiddos who thrive from exciting materials during therapy.

My Project

My students love learning through hands-on materials! They are able to explore meaningful language through Play-Doh, art materials, and LEGOs. So many communication skills are developed through play, such as using sentences, describing, turn taking, imaginative play, labeling, problem solving, etc. My articulation students are motivated when they have fun and engaging materials to use while targeting speech sounds. The Super Duper Jumbo Artic Drill Book is needed to maximize the amount of speech sounds produced for each speech session. (My former speech drill book is 14 years old and is falling apart). The Hi-Lo Nonfiction Passages for Struggling Readers book will help my middle school students learn strategies necessary for comprehension and determining the meanings of unfamiliar words, while building their vocabulary.

My students would greatly benefit from the endless amounts of communication opportunities that these materials would create!
