Exploring With Language

Funded Sep 27, 2024

Thank you so much for the generous grant provided by the Colorado Department of Education for supplies for our Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) students. Your support has made a significant impact in our classroom, allowing us to purchase new board games and art supplies that are essential for enhancing speech and language development, as well as for "brain breaks".

The board games you provided us with have been so helpful in encouraging interaction and communication among students in a fun and engaging way! These games provide opportunities for students to practice turn-taking, conversation skills, speech sound production, and vocabulary expansion in a collaborative environment. The art supplies have been crucial in allowing students to self-regulate their energy levels to allow them to express their creativity while individual focus is being given to a specific student. This combination of play and creativity is vital in helping our students develop their communication skills and confidence.

We are truly grateful for your support and commitment to the education and development of our SLP students. The kids have been so excited to receive these new games, as many of the games we had been working with were quite literally from the 1990s. Thank you once again for your generosity and for making a difference in the lives of our students.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Barnett
