Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I work within a deaf education program as a Speech Teacher in three separate schools. My case load is about 60 students who are all deaf. My students range between the ages of 3-7 and their hearing loss can range from mild-profound. They wear a combination of hearing aids and/or cochlear implant devices. They are either in self-contained deaf classrooms or in the general education setting. They are considered to be total communicators ranging in communication from verbal, sign language, AAC devices, and non-verbal.

My students are hard working kids, who are eager to learn and I hope to get the kind of materials they need that will help them achieve classroom goals.

These students are held to the same level of expectation as their peers, but are struggling to keep up due to their speech and language deficits. They often have trouble getting their message across and become frustrated as a result. And as a speech teacher, I find this to be the most disheartening problem of all. Hopefully any provided tools will help in developing these children's skills while they are young so that they may carry them throughout their education career.

My Project

I have multiple students who are non-verbal and do not have enough Sign Language to communicate. Therefore an iPad containing apps such as the Proloquo2Go app would be useful in helping my students communicate as they are developing their signs.

My students need help communicating with their peers and general education classroom teachers and this would certainly help!

Many of the teachers who work with my students in the general education classrooms require an interpreter. This causes many communication breakdowns, but with an iPad (and possibly the app Proloquo2Go) these would certainly decrease!

The above app mentioned is an easy and effective app set up as a grid to help students with minimal language skills develop affective communication. Any contribution towards this would be greatly appreciated!
