  • New Material to Keep Students Engaged: Enhancing Learning!

    Funded Aug 6, 2024

    My students thrive when they have access to new, engaging, and interactive materials that enhance their learning experience. These updated tools, such as hands-on activities, colorful visual aids, and interactive games, are especially vital during speech therapy sessions. They provide my students with exciting ways to explore and retain concepts, keeping them motivated and focused. The impact of these materials has been remarkable, enabling my students to make meaningful progress while enjoying the process of learning through activities designed specifically to meet their unique needs.

    The addition of these enhanced learning materials also allows me to create more effective and tailored therapy plans. They provide the resources I need to write detailed progress reports and design lessons that are both innovative and impactful. With these materials, I can better support my students as they build skills and achieve their goals. Your generous support in providing these resources makes a world of difference, empowering my students to succeed and fostering a love for learning in every session. Thank you for helping us create a brighter future!”

  • Tools and Materials for Effective Speech Sessions

    Funded Sep 24, 2024

    My students thrive when they have access to repetitive learning materials and engaging, colorful hands-on activities to reinforce and retain concepts. These tools are especially important during speech therapy sessions, as they provide interactive and meaningful ways for my students to learn. Materials such as flashcards, games, and visual aids not only capture their attention but also make the learning process enjoyable and effective. The impact of these resources has been immense, allowing my students to make noticeable progress while having fun working on activities tailored to their individual needs.

    The support provided through these materials extends beyond the classroom activities. It enables me to create comprehensive and effective therapy plans and write detailed, meaningful reports to track each student's progress. With access to these resources, I can design therapy lessons that are both engaging and educational, fostering a love for learning in my students. Your contributions have a far-reaching impact, empowering me to provide the best support possible for my students as they grow and achieve their communication goals.

  • Let's Make Learning Fun and Interactive!

    Funded Oct 14, 2021

    This project was instrumental in providing essential materials for students to engage in hands-on activities during their therapy sessions, both at school and at home. By integrating these resources, students were given the opportunity to participate in practical, interactive exercises that enhanced their learning experience. The hands-on activities were carefully designed to be both engaging and educational, helping students to practice and solidify their skills in a supportive environment. This approach not only made therapy sessions more enjoyable but also more effective, as students were able to see the immediate impact of their efforts and progress.

    One of the significant benefits of this project was its ability to help students transfer their skills across different environments. By using the materials at both school and home, students could reinforce what they learned in therapy sessions, applying these skills in various contexts. This transfer of skills is crucial for their overall development, as it ensures that the abilities they acquire are not limited to a single setting but are versatile and adaptable. As a result, students showed increased engagement in their activities and a noticeable decrease in disruptive behavior. They were more focused and invested in their tasks, which contributed to a more positive and productive learning atmosphere.

    We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous donors for making this project possible. Your support has had a profound impact on the students' learning experiences, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in multiple environments. The contributions have helped students become more focused, adaptable, and capable of applying their skills in various settings, thereby enhancing their overall educational journey. This project has demonstrated the power of community support in transforming educational practices and outcomes, showing that with the right resources and opportunities, students can thrive and achieve their full potential. Thank you for your continued commitment to improving the lives and futures of these students.”

  • Digital World - Activities with Clearer Voice Makes a Difference!

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    My students and I highly appreciate your generosity in funding our project. The headphones provide a clear voice and high quality sound for instruction. With the teachers pay teachers cards, I provide new activities and keep the interest of the students.

    The new material and the cards brought a smile to the faces of the students. It is fascinating to see those radiant little faces. I plan to buying more material and this helps save my time to plan my lessons rather than material preparation.

    I am sure the parents are happy to see the material as they give a good feedback. Thanks to all my Donors from the bottom of my heart and all the students!”

  • Touch...Feel...Explore...Learn....We All SHARE!

    Funded Jan 23, 2020

    Thank you for contributing to the project. My students have a great time! When ever I enter the class with the box, the students run to their mat. Teachers mention that students wait for speech time.

    During zoom session in collaboration with teacher, I am using "what's inside?" box. I pull a toy/object and students name them and match them virtually. It is so cute to see students trying to touch the objects on screen to hold and match them. They absolutely love them. I would be creating another project for my students for distance learning where they get the control to move the picture on the screen as reinforcer.

    The joy my students are having in learning process was possible by your contribution. Thank YOU for Thank YOU for giving my students an hands on learning opportunity!

    Stay safe and healthy!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Komarraju

The therapy materials help the children to first learn through touching and exploring with their hands. My preschoolers begin the abstraction process, matching the objects to picture cards. Children love to work on the activities that they can accomplish like naming the objects when they pull out from the box, comparing the objects, matching the objects, sorting them into categories. The materials can be used for multiple purposes with different strategies. When my preschoolers are manipulating materials with their hands, they also make use of their motoric memory, which enriches the learning process. And it can be much more interesting and valuable to make discoveries for yourself than to be simply told what you need to know. The products that I selected will help my students touch, feel, explore, learn and share the materials, understand the concepts with a fun hands on learning experience. Actions speak louder than words with young children. So it is often easier to show a preschooler, than explain; often easier to work alongside, than give instructions from afar; and more fun to explore the world together. My students will thrive with hands on activity and exploring objects.
