Ms. Mackenzie's Speech Room Upgrade

Funded Oct 31, 2024

Thanks to your donations, my students have a vibrant, welcoming environment in which to work toward their speech and language goals. The bean bag chair is a fan favorite for alternative seating, and I have students saying some of the sayings from our new posters to their friends. "Progress, not perfection" is one I have been hearing a lot. I have been able to create a variety of low-tech AAC (core boards, picture exchange icons, etc) for my students as well. The articulation flashcards have helped with speech goals as well. Some students have learned what color tin has their goal sounds. I have had some students say "can I practice the purple pack today?" to request targeting the 'sh' sound.

This speech room upgrade has been wonderful in supporting my students in their progress, and I greatly appreciate your generosity! The calm down corner is used even outside of sessions when my students need to take a break from especially difficult tasks or social situations, and this upgrade has made them feel even more comfortable here.

Thank you so much for all your support of my speech and language students.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Marynak
