My Students

The students in our primary school are amazing, unique individuals! Each come with their own stories, gifts, and perspectives. As a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), it is a pleasure to help these students unfold their stories as they learn to communicate effectively and independently.

Having the ability to communicate is a basic human right.

Unfortunately, it does not come so easily to all. In addition to working alongside our students as they advance their skills in the areas of articulation, fluency, storytelling, language comprehension, and social cognition to name a few, I have the pleasure of being able to assist our non-verbal and minimally verbal students on their journey toward discovering alternative ways to express their ideas, wants and needs.

What a gift it is to see our students' communication bloom as they grow toward more independence in completing academic tasks and expressing their ideas using words, phrases, sentences and conversation with the communication mode(s) that offer them the most success.

My Project

These materials will provide creative and educational ways to reinforce my students' speech and language goals. The Lego play set and quick playing dice game can be used as powerful reinforcement activities for a variety of speech and language learning targets. The storage cases make for easier "grab and go" opportunities.

These activities will provide opportunities for creative, problem solving for our primary students while they are practicing their targeted speech and language therapy goals.

Motiving reinforcement activities have been successful tools for working with our little ones. The hope of this project is to expand the variety of activities available.
