For a Neurodiversity-Affirming Speech Room

Funded Jul 12, 2023

Thank you all so much for your generous donations to this project! My aim is to build a neurodiversity-affirming space where students can explore and expand their communication skills in contexts that are as naturalistic as possible.

Because of your help, my students will have access to a variety of diverse pretend play activities that are accessible, multicultural, and open-ended to inspire creativity. In these activities, which are almost always student-led, children will expand their communication skills in a way that feels natural to them, not like “work.” Thank you for helping make this happen!”

With gratitude,

Mx. O'Shea
