My Project

I am a speech therapist in East New York! This year I’d like to make speech therapy more fun by diversifying my materials, by getting new books and board games for my students. It would mean so much to us all if you could help us so that my kids can learn how to read, and have fun while doing it! My students mean the world to me and through storybooks, wordless picture books, and collaborative games that facilitate social skills and good decision making, speech and language therapy would be a class students won’t want to miss! Any donation helps and I know the scholars would be so appreciative! Thank you in advance!!
