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 am a Speech-Language Pathologist who works with Kindergarten through fifth graders with a wide range of communication difficulties as well as significant special needs. They thrive on alternative learning methods that tap into their unique strengths. Music, art, technology, storytelling, and movement are all tools that help these students grow. I am working towards collecting a diverse range of resources that will maximally support my students.

These students come from a low socioeconomic neighborhood with 80-90% of our school’s population qualifying for free and reduced lunch.

Funding for essential academic materials is extremely limited due to district budget shortfalls. Parents frequently do not have access to necessary materials at home and it is important that children have the tools they need to thrive here at school.

Though each student has very individual needs, they are all working towards becoming the best communicators they can be. The skills they are building now will be vital throughout the rest of their educational careers and beyond. Thank you for your support in helping them meet their goals!

My Project

This project contains materials that will benefit all students on my speech and language caseload. It includes highly motivating toys and games for children who are beginning communicators, all the way up to materials to plan literacy-based intervention for older kids.

Because I service such a wide range of disabilities and ages, a vast library of resources is needed in order to meet all of their needs.

With these materials, students will be engaged and motivated to use the communication skills they've been working on. These are tried and true resources that I know all students will love using!
