Creating Meaningful and Motivating Opportunities in Speech through iPads

My students need access to technology such as iPads in speech to further their knowledge when completing expository writing for informational writing and research papers. They would love to improve their speech goals through engaging apps!

My Students

As a second year speech therapist in a low income/high poverty school my students are faced with many challenges in and outside of the classroom. They are growing up in a variety of settings and situations that makes it difficult for them to succeed in school. In addition many of them require special education services due to their learning challenges. Given the many challenges they face in their education and in their community I would like to give them meaningful opportunities to gain strategies and improve their goals through a variety of differentiated therapeutic approaches to improve their overall academic success and socialization. My students are eager and motivated to learn given the appropriate learning tools and instruction. They benefit from repetitions and they require a multi modality approach to learning information. These materials would allow my students to improve their skills inside and outside of the classroom environment. By providing them with a variety of approaches my students are motivated to practice and carry over their skills into the classroom setting.

My Project

My students need 2 iPad minis with cases to ensure that these iPads remain in good condition and to keep them protected while students are using them for educational opportunities. Using iPads would allow them to complete research papers for informational writing and expository texts. Additionally they would be able to have access to the iPad to search various things such as the definition of a word, look up synonyms and antonyms or earn the opportunity to play on the iPad after they complete their speech and language work. The iPad also creates fun and engaging ways to learn through speech and language apps for language practice and articulation practice.

My students crave opportunities to use the internet, computer or tablet to further their knowledge while improving their speech and language goals.

Many of my students have access to iPads in their classroom but also desire and require classroom technology during speech. The lack of technology in my speech and language room also hinders meaningful learning opportunities that these students deserve and require due to their special needs.
