Funded Nov 13, 2024I want to extend my deepest thanks for providing the storage bin, Do-A-Dot markers, comprehension and conversation cubes, animal x-rays, and the mailbox dramatic play set for our speech therapy sessions. These materials have brought so much versatility and engagement to our work, and their impact has been truly remarkable.
The storage bin has made organization so much easier, allowing me to group my pizza and ice cream themed dramatic play sets for easy storage.
The Do-A-Dot markers are a favorite among my students, fostering creativity while building fine motor skills. They've also been invaluable for following directions and making learning activities more hands-on and engaging. We recently used them in a fluency group and they were fantastic in helping teach students about the different kinds of disfluencies.
The comprehension cubes have added an interactive element to our literacy activities, encouraging students to think critically, answer questions, and build language comprehension in a fun and engaging way.
Finally, the mailbox dramatic play set has been a huge hit as well! It has sparked imaginative play while providing opportunities to practice turn-taking, requesting, and sequencing—all critical skills for communication development. It's amazing to see students light up as they "deliver" and "receive" mail while strengthening their language skills.
Thank you for your thoughtful generosity. These materials have not only enriched our sessions but have also brought joy and meaningful learning opportunities to my students. Your support is making a lasting difference!”

Funded Nov 13, 2024I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for providing STEM learning materials, like Squigz, to support our speech therapy sessions. These innovative tools have had an incredible impact on our work with students.
Squigz, with their engaging, tactile design, have become a favorite in therapy sessions. They encourage hands-on learning while promoting essential speech and language development. The open-ended nature of these materials inspires creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, making each session both effective and enjoyable for the children.
Beyond that, these tools have helped build stronger fine motor skills, increased joint attention, and fostered turn-taking during group activities. They've created meaningful opportunities for students to expand their vocabulary and practice requesting, labeling, and describing—all in a playful, low-pressure environment.
Thank you for understanding the importance of combining STEM learning with speech therapy. Your support not only enhances therapy sessions but also helps empower students to build confidence in their communication skills, preparing them for success in and beyond the classroom.”

Funded Jul 17, 2024Thanks to your generous funding, I have been able to introduce new play materials that are having a profound impact on my students' development in both language skills and emotional growth. These materials have become an essential part of our dramatic play sessions, where students actively engage in role-playing scenarios that not only foster creativity but also build critical language abilities.
Through these play activities, students are practicing vocabulary, sentence structure, and conversational skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable to them. They're not just learning to communicate more effectively; they're also developing a deeper sense of empathy and understanding. By stepping into different roles and perspectives, they're learning how to express their emotions, recognize the feelings of others, and collaborate in a compassionate and respectful manner.
We are incredibly grateful for your support in making this possible. Your contribution has provided our students with tools that go beyond traditional learning, helping them grow into more articulate and compassionate individuals. The impact of your generosity is evident every day as we see our students not only improving their language skills but also becoming more empathetic and cooperative in their interactions.
Thank you for believing in the power of play and its ability to shape young minds. Your support is making a meaningful difference in their lives, and I can't thank you enough for helping me nurture both their language abilities and their hearts.”

Funded Jul 17, 2024Your generous funding has allowed me to introduce a variety of new play materials and books into my speech therapy sessions, significantly enriching my students' experiences in both language development and emotional growth. These resources have become key components of my dramatic play sessions, where students engage in creative storytelling and role-playing activities that are not only fun but deeply educational.
