Your donation is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, their families, and the broader school community.\r\n\r\nCommunication is the foundation for all learning and human connection. For many of our students with disabilities, especially those with motor speech disorders, speaking can be extremely difficult—or even impossible. But because of your generosity, I am trained and certified in LSVT LOUD for Kids, a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed specifically to help these students find their voice.\r\n\r\nThis training has empower me to start providing targeted, effective therapy to children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries—students who need specialized support to be heard and understood. The techniques I have learned will not only benefit my direct students, but are also be shared with teachers, staff, and families to ensure consistent support across all environments.\r\n\r\nWith your help, these students will gain more than just clearer speech. They will gain confidence, stronger relationships, greater independence, and increased participation at school, at home, and in their communities.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of communication. Thank you for giving these children a voice.","fullyFundedDate":1742944840549,"projectUrl":"project/give-a-voice-to-our-most-vulnerable-chil/9103491/","projectTitle":"Give a Voice to Our Most Vulnerable Children","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7748207_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728309289567","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrseldredspeech"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82215","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":216,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":8,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"8.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.0,"schoolId":82215,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lafayette Township School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lafayette Township School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/lafayette-township-school-district/lafayette-township-school/82215"}
