We're using them daily to encourage turn-taking, sharing, and expressive language. It is amazing seeing their communication skills coming to life through play!\r\n\r\nMy students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw all of the new materials! Their eyes lit up when they saw the new toys, and they immediately wanted to explore everything. Many of my students are motivated by hands-on activities, so seeing their excitement turn into meaningful communication moments has been so rewarding. Laughter and language filled the room that day! They still are so excited for therapy sessions because they love the new toys. \r\n\r\nWe'll continue using the new materials to build on social communication, vocabulary, and sentence structure through structured play and small-group activities. These toys are helping my students learn how to interact with peers, express their wants and needs, and grow their confidence as communicators. I'm already seeing incredible progress, and I can't wait to see how much more they'll learn through play!","fullyFundedDate":1753293321389,"projectUrl":"project/increasing-communication-skills-through/9393138/","projectTitle":"Increasing Communication Skills Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10049063_orig.jpg?crop=1003,1003,x0,y197&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748959122694","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10049063"},{"teacherId":9933014,"projectId":9244593,"letterContent":"I want to say thank you to everyone who donated to my project.
