My Project

No one should have to live their life without color, and I want my students to be able to experience the beautiful colors in the world. Clear, colorful visuals support learning, but ink is always in short supply.

Children learn best when they're playful, happy, and engaged.

Hanging file frames will help me quickly grab different materials so that I can follow the children's lead while still ensuring they're hitting their therapy targets.

Kids learn by doing. Pairing visuals with toys to manipulate will help cement spacial prepositions, which tend to be very tricky for children with language difficulties. Manipulating items with different letter sounds will help keep children engaged during articulation practice so that they can be understood when they communicate with others.
