iPad to Improve Speech-Language Skills

Help me give my students this iPad so they can access to specialized speech and language apps to achieve their goals! I purchased many apps and we were having such successful therapy sessions until my (ancient!) iPad crashed.

My Project

An iPad can be a transformative tool for an SLP working with underprivileged inner-city students, many of whom may lack access to technology at home. The iPad's portability and versatility allow for engaging, interactive therapy sessions, catering to diverse learning styles. Specifically, educational apps targeting articulation, language development, and social skills can be downloaded and customized to each student's unique needs. For example, apps with visual supports and gamified activities can make learning more accessible and motivating for students who struggle with traditional methods. My goal for this project is to bridge the resource gap and provide these students with the same technological advantages often available to their more affluent peers, ultimately improving their communication skills and boosting their confidence. What makes my students special is their resilience and their eagerness to learn despite the challenges they face. They possess a unique strength and spirit, and I believe that with the right tools and support, they can achieve remarkable things.
