For many of my students, spoken words don't come easily, but thanks to your generosity, they now have a voice. This device is giving them a way to express their wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings with greater independence and confidence. It's more than just a tool, it's a lifeline to communication, connection, and learning.\r\n\r\nIn speech therapy, this AAC device is helping students grow in their language skills, participate more fully in group activities, and engage with their peers in meaningful ways. It's also helping foster an inclusive environment where every child is empowered to be heard.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only equipped my therapy classroom with a vital resource but has also reminded me that we are surrounded by a community that believes in the potential of every child. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference.","fullyFundedDate":1739757264541,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-children-to-talk-back/9066610/","projectTitle":"Teaching Children to Talk Back","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hembree","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9899834"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13818","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":363,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":61.8,"schoolId":13818,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McLeod Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McLeod Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/jackson-public-school-district/mcleod-elementary-school/13818"}
