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 at a diverse suburban elementary school just outside of Washington D.C. My students come from culturally diverse backgrounds, where English is a language they may or may not have been exposed to before starting school. There are more than 41 countries and over 20 different languages represented at our school. More than 74% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. Additionally, they also have challenges learning new concepts and skills due to Attention Deficit Disorder, Developmental Delay, Speech and Language Impairment, or Autism Spectrum Disorders.

My Project

My students need movement in order to demonstrate focused attention and engage in classroom tasks. These speakers and adapter will allow movement activities like brain breaks and yoga to be broadcast through a projector so everyone can see and hear. This technology will give my students a much needed sensory break in order to allow them to be prepared to sit at the table and engage in classroom activities with more independence and focus. It will also encourage and improve their ability to follow directions and improve their imitation skills, which all students need in order to learn new concepts.
