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 Project

Within our speech therapy room, we focus on helping bright, enthusiastic kids overcome speech, language and pragmatic delays through the motivation of play. Play is such an important part of a students childhood which presents with several remarkable benefits:

Play offers a dynamic and engaging platform for learning - through play, our students develop critical pragmatic skills such as turn-taking, active listening, rule-following, and self-expression—all fundamental aspects of speech and language development.

The use of play dough, kinetic sand and other multi-sensory toys allow our students the opportunity to engage in play while indirectly providing them sensory input and aid in sensory regulation.

These hands on toys and activities will help our little learners develop their speech and language needs in a fun and playful way.
