In 2025, the landscape of education and therapy continues to evolve, and your contribution provides the high-quality, physical and digital tools my students need to thrive. Your gift, which includes specialized social skills materials, emotion-identification tools, story sequencing sets, organizational supplies, a storage cabinet, and even the simplest essentials like Post-it notes, is already making a profound impact on our daily sessions.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, the world can feel like a confusing place. Navigating a conversation or understanding a peer's facial expression doesn't always come naturally. The social skills materials and emotion-identification tools you provided are game-changers. By using these resources alongside our Everyday Speech curriculum, students are move beyond abstract theories to concrete practice. They are learning to \"read the room,\" recognize subtle non-verbal cues, and regulate their own emotions in real-time. These skills are the foundation of self-advocacy and meaningful peer connections.\r\nThe story sequencing sets and graphic organizers are equally vital. These materials help my students tackle complex language goals, such as narrative structure and logical reasoning. When a student can physically manipulate a sequence of events, they aren't just telling a story; they are building the cognitive pathways necessary for clear, organized communication. This directly translates to their success in the general education classroom, helping them follow multi-step directions and share their ideas with confidence.\r\n\r\nBeyond the instructional materials, the logistical support you've provided is transformative. The new storage cabinet has turned our therapy space into a sanctuary of order. In a structured learning environment, students with sensory sensitivities or executive functioning challenges feel calmer and more focused. Even the Post-it notes play a key role; we use them for \"exit tickets,\" quick visual reminders of IEP goals, and as \"thought bubbles\" to help students visualize what others might be thinking during social interactions.\r\n\r\nYour support ensures that every session aligns with their speech and language goals, particularly in pragmatics and social communication. Because of you, my students have a dedicated space and the specific tactile tools required to bridge the gap between a therapy room and the real world. They are not just learning to speak; they are learning to connect, to understand, and to be understood.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and their families, thank you for investing in their voices and their futures. Your kindness has provided more than just \"materials, \"it has provided the building blocks for a lifetime of successful communication and confidence. We are truly honored by your support as we move through this 2025 school year with the best possible resources at our fingertips.","fullyFundedDate":1762820856644,"projectUrl":"project/autism-and-social-skills/9852282/","projectTitle":"Autism and Social Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lisa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10226019_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759341865172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10226019"},{"teacherId":10226019,"projectId":9771696,"letterContent":"The generous donations from our donors have made an incredible impact on my speech therapy students at Del Sol High School. Because of your kindness, my students now have the materials they need to stay organized, focused, and motivated as they work toward their speech therapy, college, and career goals. They absolutely love their new binders, which they are using to track their communication goals, organize assignments, and plan the steps they need to take to reach their personal dreams.\r\n\r\nThe Sharpie Pens, Sticky Notes, and other office supplies have also been a huge help—not only for my students, but for me as their speech-language pathologist. These materials allow me to create engaging, hands-on lessons and personalized activities that help each student make meaningful progress.\r\n\r\nRight now, my speech therapy students are busy putting their binders together and beginning to research colleges and careers that interest them. It's wonderful to see their excitement as they set goals, make plans for the future, and gain the communication and organization skills they'll need for success beyond high school.

Because of your donation, we were able to provide an iPad and the necessary technology to support our students with autism and communication challenges in ways that are truly meaningful and impactful.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has become a powerful tool in our classroom—it is not just a piece of technology, but a bridge to communication and learning. For many of my students who are nonverbal or have limited verbal abilities, it is helping them find their voice. With the help of communication apps and visual supports, they are now better able to express their wants, needs, and ideas throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting changes we've seen is how enthusiastic the students are about using the iPad to work toward their communication and academic goals. They were especially thrilled to receive conversation cards, which they use to ask each other questions and engage in meaningful peer interactions—something that many of them had not been able to do before. These moments of connection are incredible to witness and are a direct result of your kindness.\r\n\r\nThe iPad is also giving our students better access to learning materials in a format that meets their needs. It allows for personalized instruction, engaging visuals, and interactive learning that supports both academic growth and communication development. Some students who were previously hesitant or resistant have opened up and shown a new willingness to work on their goals thanks to this technology.\r\n\r\nYour donation is making a real difference—not just in education, but in the lives of children who are learning to connect with the world in their own unique ways. Thank you for believing in them, supporting their growth, and helping create a classroom where every student has the tools to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1758844101378,"projectUrl":"project/special-ed-materials/9654291/","projectTitle":"Special Ed Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lisa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10226019_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759341865172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10226019"},{"teacherId":6845496,"projectId":9349616,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generosity in supporting our AVID students this year!
