Comfortable and Cozy Speech Room

Funded Feb 22, 2024

I'm excited to share the positive impact your generosity has had on our speech-language classroom. The new resources have truly transformed our space and made a significant difference for our speech students.

When the new materials arrived, the students were thrilled. Their excitement was palpable as they explored the seat cushions and bean bags. These additions have brought a fresh energy to our sessions. The seat cushions have been especially helpful for students with ADHD and those needing sensory support. They provide the comfort and sensory input needed to stay focused and engaged. For example, during a recent group activity aimed at enhancing expressive language skills, one student, who usually struggles with staying seated, was able to participate fully and effectively, thanks to the cushion.

The bean bags have also become a favorite. They create a comfortable and inviting environment for various activities, from reading sessions to social skills exercises. The relaxed setting of the bean bags helps students feel more at ease during social activities, leading to better interaction and discussion. One student on the autism spectrum has found particular comfort in the bean bags, which helps him feel more secure and involved.

Your support has provided us with a nurturing and stimulating learning environment. Thank you once again for your kindness and support.”

With gratitude,

Ms. S.
