My Project

The materials and supplies I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We need your help in getting everything through our door! The large carpet will be placed in the room to accommodate comfort for those students who struggle with sitting in chairs, including bounce chairs and other various seating arrangements. The iPad will be a strong tool to engage students in therapy by using games and other various apps in different settings within our school. Other supplies listed will go to creating PECS boards and other low-tech AAC devices for our wide range of students. The students in our program range from mild to severe disabilities including but not limited to Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disabilities, Neurological Disabilities, and Fragile X. Sensory items are requested to assist when our students are struggling to express themselves, share feelings, and are dealing with emotional-behavioral situations. Other various items you will see on our list will not only help us within our program but will assist our students at home as well. One thing our parents ask us the most is for strategies and tools to help their child communicate simple wants and needs at home. As a Speech Language Pathologist in a d75 program, I ask YOU to help us professionals and other educators to help our students succeed in the best way possible!
