While many of you use tablets or smartphones at home for leisure or work, in a special education setting, these devices are far more than \"tech\"—they are a student's voice and their most powerful tool for independence.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, AAC devices do not just \"replace\" speech; they build the foundation for it. They help our students by: Providing a Robust Language Base: By using these devices early, students develop the communication and language skills essential for later school success, often meeting developmental milestones similar to their peers.\r\nEnhancing Academic Participation: Students can now actively contribute to group discussions, answer questions, and demonstrate their understanding of complex concepts that were previously locked inside.\r\nReducing Frustration: When a child can clearly communicate their needs—like being hungry or needing a break—their frustration and behavioral outbursts significantly decrease.\r\nYour generosity is not just buying hardware; it is giving these children the right to be heard and the opportunity to succeed. Thank you for helping us ensure that every voice in our classroom matters.","fullyFundedDate":1760797854228,"projectUrl":"project/giving-a-voice/9648211/","projectTitle":"Giving A Voice","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5264371"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100059","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":160,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"8.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":71.0,"schoolId":100059,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woodland Developmental Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woodland Developmental Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/-county-run-/woodland-school/100059"}
