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

The students I work with come from a variety of backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. The classes I work with serve students with moderate to severe disabilities ranging from Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Opposition Defiant Disorder, Intellectual Disabilities, and Speech and Language Impairment. In order to engage my students I need to have creative lessons that are tied to standards, but also that are motivating. Please help me continue to provide a fun way for students to learn and grow!

My Project

The majority of my students are nonverbal or limited verbal and require assistive communication modalities to communicate needs, wants and academics throughout their school day. This project will provide us with voice-output devices so that students can engage in fun and educational activities more effectively.

Please help give my students a voice in their classroom.

The single button devices will provide a voice for students to answer questions or request needs more easily in the classroom. The Step-by-Step button will allow students to be engaged in story time and read part of the story to their peers with its multiple message functions.

These devices will help my students communicate more independently and effectively in the school environments. Allowing them to participate fully in educational activities.
