  • Help Us Expand Our Language Skills!

    Funded Jun 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generosity and for providing my speech students with the Expanding Expression Tool. It is such a helpful resource to use to improve my students' language skills. I love how it is easy to use and user- friendly. It has made assessment, lesson-planning, and data collection much easier.

    My students all have speech and language disorders, and most of them struggle with describing and vocabulary skills. When I assessed baseline skills for describing common items, most of them told me one or two words such as "eat it". With the help of this visual tool, they are able to remember to include the category, function, appearance, parts, location, etc. when describing items. each color of the visual strand represents a concept to include, and it has been extremely helpful. I am already seeing progress after a few sessions. I can't wait to see the progress by the end of the school year.

    Thank you again. Your generosity and thoughtfulness is much appreciated!”

  • Help! Fun and Engaging Resources For Speech Therapy Needed!

    Funded Mar 30, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness! Your donation has enabled me to purchase interactive Boom cards and ready- made materials to use during speech and language therapy. I have purchased materials to target inferencing, story elements, main idea, and vocabulary skills. My students have been engaged in these activities and excited to participate using the interactive activities on the Smartboard.

    Being able to purchase these materials has saved me a great deal time that would have had to be spent preparing materials, and has enabled me to complete my other administrative duties in a timely manner! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!”

  • Speech Therapy Requires Clean, Safe Air!

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generosity and providing us with air purifiers and filters for the speech room. My students and I feel safer and more comfortable being in the speech room knowing that the air purifiers are removing germs and toxins from the air.

    Initially, my students were not aware of what air purifiers and filters do. We had a lesson about the vocabulary and function of the air purifiers. We also discussed the concept of "donating" as an act of kindness. My students were very grateful for your donations and formulated written thank you letters to share with you.

    We plan to continue to use the air purifiers and filters in the upcoming years. Your kindness and generosity is truly appreciated and won't be forgotten.”

  • Help Students Participate in Virtual Speech Therapy!

    Funded Aug 13, 2020

    Your donation provided many students at my school with headphones, whiteboards, and dry erase markers. These items have been so helpful during remote speech therapy. The headphones have enabled them to hear me better and make it easier for me to hear them. The students use the whiteboards to practice spelling activities. Students love being able to write on the boards with the marker so it makes spelling activities more motivating and engaging for them. My students and I are so grateful for your generosity and kindness.”

  • Help Make Learning to Read More Fun!

    Funded Aug 13, 2020

    Your donation provided me with many materials to help teach my speech students reading skills and phonological awareness skills. The flip books and decodable readers, as seen in the pictures, have made practicing reading skills more engaging and motivating. Although we are remote right now, once we go back to the school building, the students are going to love playing with the robot letters. This will make learning the letter names and sounds so much more fun and motivating. My students and I are so grateful for your generosity and kindness. You have surely made a difference in the lives of these students.”

  • Help Students Hear and Be Heard During Remote Speech Therapy!

    Funded Aug 13, 2020

    Your donation supplied many students with headphones containing microphones. These have been so helpful during remote speech therapy. They have been able to use them at home and at school to attend remote speech therapy. The speech students are able to hear me better and I am able to hear them better. They also have been helping block out background noise. Instead of struggling to hear each other, we can focus on targeting their speech and language goals. The students and I are so grateful for your generosity and kindness. It is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you again!”

This school year will most likely be a hybrid model with both in person learning and remote learning. Many students did not have the necessary supplies to participate fully during remote learning last year. There was often a lot of background noise coming from student’s homes which impacted their ability to hear and participate in speech therapy. Headphones will help reduce background noise and maximize learning. Whiteboards and dry erase markers will help students participate during spelling and writing tasks, so they can easily write, show their responses, and erase their work.
