Communicate Through Play!

Funded Jan 11, 2024

My students have loved increasing their communication skills with our new materials! We work on requesting, commenting, and describing with our low and high tech communication devices. Many of the materials allow for multiple pragmatic communication opportunities which allows for more practice on our skills.

I use these materials during individual sessions, small group, and large group sessions. They are mostly used for children ages 3-5 in special education preschool classes. A lot of these children have had limited exposure to fun and new materials at home so being able to provide that at school has been rewarding.

The materials I choose allow for extension activities such as locking items inside the critter clinic or putting thematic based materials inside the animal barns instead of the animals. We've been able to use the materials in the way they are intended initially and then modify the materials for the next use to make it more interesting. The kids have loved it!

Me and my students are very thankful for your generous donation to this project. We have made communication practice fun and interesting this year and will continue to do so thanks to your help!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Nease
