Even though 75% of my students are nonverbal, these materials have helped to bring them together and communicate through play. The flexible seating options encourage my students to sit and read or use their imagination when playing with toys and learning materials. \r\n\r\nThese materials are allowing students that previously were unsuccessful communicating during social and functional activities fully, the opportunity to do so. It is allowing my students to show their communication through cooperative play activities. I am thankful for your donation and know that your kindness will impact the lives of many other students.

Your support has allowed many of my students that have limited verbal abilities or that are completely nonverbal, the ablility to enjoy books that they previously would have not had access to. My students especially love the seasonal books and are excited to be able to answer questions and participate in book activities the same as their nondisabled peers at the start of each new season or holiday.\r\n\r\nThese materials have allowed me to adapt these books by printing book companions that have pictures to go along with each page of the book. The velcro that you provided was used in the books, so that my students are able to pick the picture that matches the page or answer any comprehension questions about the book. The laminating sheets are priceless because they will ensure that these materials last for years to come. I have been able to laminate all the pictures and book companions for each of the books that you provided and it has been life changing for me and my students. \r\n\r\nThese materials are allowing students that previously were unable to participate in reading activities fully, the opportunity to do so. It is allowing my students to show the knowledge that they have effectively, in a different way. I am thankful for your donation and know that your kindness will impact the lives of many other students that I will share the magic of reading with for many years to come.
