  • Help Give My Students a Voice

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Remember the money you gave to my classroom? Well that has helped 14 students gain a voice. Some have even started to use their own and not needing to use the iPad. My students have gained access to items that they want and communication has increase. Thank you for giving my students the chance to talk. To meet their needs, and to interact with the world around them. This year we saw an increase of communication and confidence that only comes with being able to meet their own needs. So thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Peterson

    This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 10 other donors.

  • Giving a Voice to the Voiceless.

    Funded Mar 22, 2021

    The gift of communication for anyone can impact the quality their life. At a young age we babble and try different sounds and it opens the doors for making connections with others and meets our wants and needs. For some of my students, that is more difficult. With the gift assistive technology such as an iPad that can talk for them, it has opened that world for them that was closed. Now they can request for a simple drink of water or to being able to express how they feel has made a world of difference. When the lightbulbs go off when my students' realize that when they request for a item then receive it, the seeds of communication has been planted. Some of my students have even started to use simple words and phrases instead of relying on of a device to speak for them! Thank you for the gift of words and connection you have given to my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Peterson

Some of my students have little to no words. With the advances of technology we can give them a voice. There are certain apps that can help give a voice for my students that need it. It can help those students meet their basic wants and needs in their environment. That can look like asking for a drink, or when they need to use the restroom. It can help them connect to people by having conversations, such as even just being able to acknowledge those around them. Having this type of technology would help my students thrive. Giving them a chance to learn and grow in ways that wasn't expected.
