My Project

My students are working hard toward their speech and language goals. Many of my students come to speech in groups with their peers. Space is limited in our school.

I am requesting tall shelving to help maximize space in our small therapy room and create more space for my students to comfortably learn.

As a speech teacher, I create adapted therapy materials on a weekly basis to meet my students' individualized needs. The requested storage bags and wall hooks will help organize our materials and make them easier to find.
