I need a color printer to create visuals to support student learning. I would also love the opportunity to laminate visuals to provide consistent visual support for students.

My Students
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist in an elementary school in Chinatown, New York City. I work with students, grades PreK-5th grade, with diverse learning styles. Students study in general education, Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT), bilingual, and 12:1 special education classrooms.
Many students in our school come from low income families, and our school is comprised of a large ELL (English Language Learner) population.
At our school, 96% of our students receive free or reduced priced lunch.
Students on my caseload are very hard-working, respectful, and eager to learn and grow. Therapy sessions target a wide array of speech and language goals. My role is to teach strategies and skills to support students in accessing the curriculum and reaching performance standards.
My Project
As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I support students by providing strategies and tools to access the curriculum. It would be beneficial for students to receive individualized and consistent color visuals to enhance their learning. If laminated, the visuals could be easily referenced and transferred to their classrooms to provide generalization into the classroom.
Therapy sessions target a wide array of speech and language goals: articulation, fluency (stuttering) , expressive language, receptive language (reading and listening comprehension), auditory processing and non-verbal communication, pragmatics (social skills), syntax, vocabulary, and executive functioning skills (memory, organization, problem solving, etc.) Many of my students are visual learners.
I would use the colored printer to create schedules to facilitate transitions. I would also use the colored printer to print out color-coded graphic organizers, as well as literacy-related images to support comprehension of texts and ideas.
The school environment is a place for children to develop and maintain a love of learning. Colorful pictures and sturdy visuals would not only be used in my therapy sessions as attractive materials, but they would enhance learning of new strategies and skills, such as vocabulary words.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
