My students' abilities range from severe speech sound disorders, auditory processing, verbal and non-verbal communicators, to high functioning autism. Finding appropriate materials to help my students with their specific communication skills can vary depending on the individual need of each child. These materials will help facilitate and serve as an engaging way to teach communication skills, offer visual support, and motivation for my students. Because my students have a diverse range of communication needs, the materials requested will be used to target those individual needs. The articulation and wordy wheel materials will help my students work on their articulation disorders in a fun and engaging way. The Emotions Posting game and conversation cards will be a wonderful way to improve student engagement for my students with autism and social-emotional disabilities. These materials will promote social awareness growth that will help my students be successful with their peer friendships and relationships. The verb cards and the ask and answer “wh” bingo will increase receptive and expressive language skills to my students who have difficulty with their understanding and use of spoken language. The additional materials will help with student engagement and motivation during therapy. The materials will be used in educational, structured activities that will support the students’ learning in the therapy room, and as they begin to generalize the skills learned in therapy to the classroom and outside of school. Communication skills are so important for a child’s development. It is what enables us to clearly pass information to other people and to understand what is said to us.
