My Project

Please help me give my students a voice! I work with a few autistic nonverbal children who need a voice to get their wants and needs met and to interact with other children there same age.

Most of my students are from low income backgrounds and can’t afford these items.

This would make all the difference in their learning and everyday environments. These helpful devices would give them a way to communicate and interact with peers and teachers and further their learning. Pleas help me make a difference in there lives!
