This classroom project was brought to life by Aspect Ventures and 10 other donors.My Non Verbal Students Need A Voice!
Funded Oct 31, 2016My class of 5 students have learning and behavioral disabilities that keep most from speaking. Three of my students are non-verbal and we work together to learn new words and gain confidence that they understand how to communicate with others. The ipad and complimentary ipad app help my students to associate words with colors, shapes, and objects. They match pictures on the table to words displayed on the ipad and can now associate the image with the word and the word the sounds to speak. Using the ipad app and the ipad also helps with touch sensitivity and controlling their emotions.
They get very excited to use the ipad. Having the ipad in class every day helps with consistency and establishing a routine, which helps them to retain the words they have learned.
One of my students, by using the ipad and ipad app, has started to become more verbal, starting to use words in songs that we sing rather than motions and hand signals.”
