Funded May 31, 2017You should see our classroom this year! Kids are communicating, and loving it!
Last year we had zero devices in our room. Now, thanks to you, we have 3 to choose from. It has changed our whole atmosphere.
We were able to load a communication program onto the ipad for two non-verbal students. This program allows them to touch pictures, which form a sentence, which is then read a loud for their peers to hear. One of these students was able to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at our school assembly using this program on the ipad. It was so touching, there were tears shed. Moments like that do not happen very often.
Another student has had behavior problems because he wasn't able to communicate his wants and needs clearly. I wish you could see the smile on his face when he uses these devices to interact with his peers. Finally, he has a chance to be heard. The behaviors are disintegrating.
Even though we are a small class in the middle of America, you have a made a huge impact on our lives.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Benson
