My Students

I am a first-year speech-language pathologist in central Missouri. I will be serving children who have diagnoses ranging from autism spectrum disorder to speech sound disorder to language impairment. My students are special because they have unique communication needs. These elementary-age kids come from a variety of backgrounds and require a variety of interventions to improve their speech-language skills.

My Project

The new children's books will promote student engagement in therapy lessons. After each therapy session, my students get to choose a short "brain break" before heading back to class. One of their brain break options is to read a book. With these new books, students will be able to choose a story that they enjoy and therefore promote independent reading time.

The teachers pay teachers gift cards will be used towards obtaining new print and digital speech and language therapy resources and materials.

Should we experience a school closure, these resources will prove vital in targeting speech and language goals in a digital, creative way.
