Providing Students With Special Needs Distraction Free Learning
Funded Sep 4, 2022Thank you so much for your donation to the students of PS 225! There are so many materials that can be accessed using this iPad and each student is able to target different goals and address different needs. My students have already been able to use the iPad to address articulation and language goals with different applications I have purchased for them. There are also a wealth of phonological awareness games and applications which help address reading delays. The possibilities are endless thanks to your donation!”

Providing Engaging Learning Materials for Students With Special Needs!
Funded Dec 2, 2021This teachers pay teachers gift card has provided access to so many new and exciting materials. For example, I did not have many stuttering/fluency materials in my arsenal. Stuttering can be difficult to approach in therapy as it is an emotionally charged issue. However, I was able to purchase fun and interactive games which are specifically made to target stuttering and are also engaging and fun! One game is a variation of tic tac toe in which the child needs to use a particular fluency strategy when saying a word or sentence before each turn. This is a way to make therapy much more enjoyable. Your help is greatly appreciated. You truly do make a difference!”

Make Lessons for Students With Special Needs Fun and Engaging!
Funded May 4, 2021Thank you so very much for donating to this project. The fact that you would make it a priority in your busy lives to help teachers means so much!
This technology that you have given me access to will be so very helpful in preparing and implementing lessons. This will give me the opportunity to use make engaging materials for individualized sessions. Each student I work with needs something different and this technology will give me the capability to tailor each student's learning to what they need that given day.
Once again, thank you for your compassion!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and one other donor.Reaching Students with Special Needs at Home
Funded Mar 25, 2021The iPad you have funded has truly helped my speech therapy students continue to make progress toward their goals despite these unprecedented circumstances. Something that is incredibly important when conducting remote therapy is crystal clear visuals of the face. For pragmatic therapy, the students need to be able to see facial expressions clearly. Even the slightest movement needs to be picked up. For articulation therapy, very good visuals of the mouth need to be provided for students to see my models and for me to see if they are making the sounds correctly. This iPad has dramatically improved the clarity in which we can see each other during sessions. Thank you so much for caring enough and taking the time to donate to this project. Please know you have benefited the lives of these students during difficult times.”
