My students are beginning to use the switches in order to communicate choices, make a comment or ask a question. These switches have given my non-verbal autistic students a VOICE! They get so excited when they hit the switch in order to communicate a choise *whether it be a toy or food) and gain access to the item. I have seen a decrease in the students frustration levels which has led to less behavioral outbursts. By the students becoming more comfortable and fluent in the use of the switches, hopefully it will open the door to bigger more complex devices to help them as the grow in their language needs.\r\nThank you from the bottom of my heart for this very special gift for my students. Because I work in a low income school district these students would never have been able to access these switches without your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1735657730728,"projectUrl":"project/i-want-to-communicate/8813784/","projectTitle":"I Want to COMMUNICATE","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Duffy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4981257_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1510786135077","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4981257"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63972","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":278,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":63972,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clark Street Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clark Street Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/worcester-public-schools/clark-street-develpmental-lrng/63972"}
