Speech Therapy Resources to Help My Students Thrive

Funded Mar 2, 2021

Speech and language development is vital to one's life and to overall academic success. Having my project fully funded allowed me to provide the most effective and individualized therapy possible to my speech students during their remote and in-person therapy sessions.

For my remote students, I was able to get headphones with microphones. My students were so excited to receive this technology and couldn't wait to use it in therapy. My student's parents were so thankful that their child was given a means to focus while being at home. The headphones helped my most challenged students focus, boost their lesson retention, and enjoy therapy remotely. The headphones reduced problems created by noise, distance and reverberation in the student's households. These students were able to learn in a space where normally they would have been distracted.

My students learn best when an activity is fun and interactive. This was made possible through a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card. For both my in-person and remote students, I was able to use the gift card to buy therapy material, both digital and print, to expand my student's speech and language skills in an engaging and functional manner. I was able to use that material to target my student's individual and unique learning needs.

I thank you all for helping me make a difference in each of my students' academic lives.”
