My Students

My students know all about facing adversity with strength. Having a speech and language disability can single a child out as being different. I strive to encourage my students to embrace their differences while trying hard to overcome their challenges. In addition to their disabilities, many of my students also face the hardship of economic disadvantage which serves only to complicate their already difficult lives. Despite all this, I am inspired by the way so many kids are able to take joy in life, undeterred by the tough situations that hinder them.

My Project

There was a time when any good SLP could be found lugging bags of activities around. Increasingly, those hefty therapy bags have shrunk, all thanks to high tech solutions such as iPads.

While hands on learning is still crucial, an iPad will give my students to access a multitude of digital speech and language applications and methods of communication, while also increasing their digital and technological literacy and internet safety skills.

A device such as an iPad allows students to access interactive and motivational materials, communication devices such as text to speech or augmentative and alternative communication applications, and speech and language learning applications.
