These iPads have become their voice. Using communication apps, they can now express their needs, share ideas, and participate in classroom discussions in ways that were previously impossible. This technology is not just a tool—it's a bridge to connection and independence.\r\nWhat Excites Our Students Most:\r\nThe ability to \"talk\" through the screen has been life-changing. One student who rarely spoke now uses the iPad to greet classmates every morning. Another loves creating sentences to tell us what he wants for snack time. The joy on their faces when they realize they are understood is priceless.","fullyFundedDate":1750640121656,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-voices-one-ipad-at-a-time/9356520/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Voices, One iPad at a Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hulewicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9879244_orig.jpg?crop=1953,1953,x339,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736533965644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9879244"},{"teacherId":9879244,"projectId":9147945,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our classroom now has the art supplies we needed—especially the cardstock that has opened up so many creative possibilities for our students with autism.\r\nHow We're Using the Materials:\r\nWe recently started a project called \"My Story in Colors\" where each student creates a layered collage to express their emotions and interests. The sturdy cardstock has been perfect for this activity because it gives them a strong base to work on and allows them to experiment with textures and layers without frustration.","fullyFundedDate":1747149950125,"projectUrl":"project/students-with-autism-in-need-of-art-supp/9147945/","projectTitle":"Students With Autism in Need of Art Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hulewicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9879244_orig.jpg?crop=1953,1953,x339,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736533965644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9879244"},{"teacherId":9879244,"projectId":9147950,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support!
