My Students

How many people do you talk to each day? Twenty? Thirty? What a great gift to be able to communicate. How do you communicate? Talking, text, Facebook, writing a note. Give this gift to the students.

The students in my classroom all have a disability.

Some can talk, write, and communicate with no problems. Others need help. We use multiple activities and technologies to give each student opportunities to live and participate in life like everyone their age. Together as a team students communicate with peers, go shopping, talk with friends and family, participate in their community at large.

My Project

Having an iPad mini with a case in the classroom will allow us to continue to use programs and applications in the room to help the students communicate. We have just received a program that will allow all the students to write on an iPad using pictures to put together sentences. Students will learn to write sentences, talk with peers, family, and bosses without having someone talk for them.

Please consider donating to this project.

The students in the room deserve the ability to communicate in all forms. Several students already have the ability to communicate in the room. Your donation will allow more students the ability to communicate throughout their day and in the community.
