My Project

I am requesting specific learning materials to target core language, literacy skills, and describing. My hope is that presenting engaging materials will help motivate students to practice their speech and language targets, and will make their learning more memorable and relevant. Younger students especially benefit from hands-on experiences to learn communication and interaction skills. Some of the materials (laminating pages, velcro) will also help me create personalized materials for each student. Finally, students earn prizes by receiving a sticker every time they attend and work hard at speech therapy. Help me restock their prize box with motivating, developmentally appropriate items!
