My Project

The materials selected will help create an organized and easily accessible speech and language therapy space. Currently, sound cue cards are stored in boxes. While this is logical, it requires time to find the appropriate targets and visuals. By changing the storage system to binders, less time will be spent finding the necessary cues and more time on trials that will increase student success. Items such as whiteboards, whiteboard markers, and slant stands will be used as aids in sound and language development. Harsh overhead lighting will be lessened with filters creating a calm setting. If this project is funded, it will read students at two schools within GFPS and impact 50 students.

Creating a speech and language environment that is organized, efficient, and calm will support the overall success of students served.

Items such as colorful pens, whiteboards/markers, and the paint by sticker books will be used as reinforcers to further increase motivation to practice and participate.
