  • Learning Language via Core Words

    Funded Oct 21, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my project. Our emergent communicators are developing attending skills with the wonderful Karen Katz lift the flap books. Some of our learners have never paid attention to books before! I noticed that these children are quickly engaged with exploring how to lift the flaps. What a wonderful way to build problem solving skills and vocabulary at once.

    In addition, we are using core words with the hard cover books from my project. Check out my photos. Many of my students are already decoding these stories. Thank you for your generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Susanne

  • Learning Language Through Play

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    I want to thank you again for funding my project "Learning Language through Play." When my students arrived in my classroom they were eager to open the new boxes and explore all of the wonderful toys that came from Lake Shore Learning company. One of the most popular toys that arrived is the jack-in-the-box. This is a wonderful toy to teach cause and effect skills. Although my students require help turning the handle this creates multiple communication opportunities, for example using the words "help" and "again". As a speech language pathologist I can target the skill of following directions as well with the same toy. The students can learn to "Use two hands" to stabilize the toy while turning the handle.

    Another popular toy is the mix and match jungle animals. This is a wonderful toy because it is fairly easy to construct as many our students present with fine motor delays. Therefore, the frustration level is low and the children again have opportunities to request multiple pieces and can also display creativity and flexibility by mixing up the animals to create new animals.

    In our busy world we often loose sight of the importance of playing with children with low tech or no tech toys. It is through play that children develop language, problem solving skills, executive functioning skills and improved attention and creativity. Play skills are also a predictor of literacy skills. I thank you for providing me with developmentally appropriate and fun materials to enable my students to develop the prerequisites skills for academic success.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Susanne

Our students are unable to communicate verbally at this time. This inability to communicate functionally can result in maladaptive behaviors. The Super Duper Webber communication books will hold picture icons created with AAC software and then printed with The HP Printer. All pictures will then be cut, laminated and attached to the communication book with Velcro. Each student will have their own personal communication book which will allow them to travel throughout the building with their "voice." Our long term goal is to have the children take their personal book back and forth from school and home so they can communicate with their families.
