Through your donations, I was able to purchase gift cards for Teachers Pay Teachers, a site where SLP and educator creators sell their evidence-based, engaging materials to use with students.\r\n\r\nAt times, it can be really challenging to have 50 students, each with different goals specific to their speech or language needs. An SLP has the unique goal of targeting those goals individualized to the student without a curriculum to guide them. I am often making things up as I go along. With your support, it has helped me find engaging materials that are tied to a variety of speech and language goals, saving me time and helping me better align to both the educational needs of my students and their speech and language needs.\r\n\r\nThe students have loved engaging in hands on and colorful computer-based materials that have made speech that much more sweet.
