iPad Keyboard Case for Speech Therapy
Funded Mar 18, 2024Thank you so much for donating to this incredibly impactful project. As the only Speech Therapist at my school, I work with students with unique educational and communication needs. It is so helpful to have the appropriate technology so that they can access the curriculum.
Many of the students I work with are on the Autism Spectrum. Having an iPad has allowed us to use Boom Cards, an educational website with a wide range of materials to work on social skills such as conversation skills, understanding sarcasm, and interview skills. One project we have been working on is using the iPad to film social scripts. The students are writing scripts of a communication breakdown and then a communication repair to show how they would fix the conversation.
Having this iPad provides us with endless opportunities to target their Speech Therapy goals and give them the tools for success at Brooklyn Tech. Thank you again!”
With gratitude,

Another group of students I work with at Brooklyn Tech have a stutter. Having this iPad gives us access to use speaking apps such as those that include a metronome to help them monitor their rate or speech, and decibel apps to target their speaking volume.
