This is helping promote more of a Universal Design for Learning model within the general education setting. UDL allows for accommodations to be a natural part of the classroom for all students, not just those with disabilities. For example, many of us use Voice Text, but do not have a disability. Students being able to use speech-to-text in the classroom opens up accessibility for everyone and lessens the stigma of disabilities. \r\nThank you again, you've opened up new doors for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1733918210643,"projectUrl":"project/making-speech-to-text-easier-in-a-busy-c/8996475/","projectTitle":"Making Speech-To-Text Easier In A Busy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hamer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9868421"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41736","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":306,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.1,"schoolId":41736,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Douglass Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Douglass Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/academy-school-district-20/douglass-valley-elementary-school/41736"}
