Speech and Language: Team up with Apple TV
Funded Sep 16, 2020
Thank you so much for your donation! We are so blessed to have our tv and apple tv. The students love the big screen and because of COVID-19 we have to have the students spaced out. In years passed- we have our tiny laptop screen showing the student narrative videos or pictures. Because of our amazing TV we can project the images and videos!
The students have really enjoyed being able to engage with the screen and as we put up boom cards and other interactive mediums. One of our students has trouble with his eyesight and being able to have our videos and images projected up on the screen has been amazing!
It has been amazing to see the kids more engaged when we use our apple tv to screen-share and highlight words, and type as the students follow along. We are so appreciative of your donation and we are so excited to continue using it for years to come. We cannot thank you enough!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Harris
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose 20th Anniversary Fund and one other donor.

Covid-19 has completely changed speech therapy. We have gone from being totally hands on and face to face; to tele-therapy, digital learning and lessons via social distancing. While this TV we are requesting will not be used for our online learning, we have learned through tele-therapy in the past few months that technology is a necessary part of teaching communication skills. Our current plan is to start out the school year training students how to use our online platforms. This way, our students will be more prepared for a potential school closure. Videos and media show facial expressions and body language that we will not be able to show this year in face to face therapy due to COVID-19 and CDC guidelines. Our student need to see real-life positive and negative examples of communication experiences. Our lesson plans frequently revolve around a youtube clip of a social interaction, or a narrative teaching problem solving, or appropriate social behavior. We often do role-plays, but watching typical peers in video format is more effective in pointing out the negative and positive interactions. We often pause the videos and discuss what went wrong, and what went well. Another purpose for our request, is the ability to hold an IEP meeting in a paperless format via Apple TV Screen sharing. This will reduce the number of paper copies that we need to make, and will allow the IEP team to hold a more efficient meeting. All of these things will improve our ability to provide speech and language services in our school.
