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

Almost all of my students are either a.) Title I students who did not have access to the internet during the pandemic, or b.) students with disabilities who were not able to be adequately served in a virtual modality during the pandemic. As a result, they missed out on critical speech-language pathology intervention, including vital multisensory cues to facilitate correct articulation or sounds, games to develop expressive and receptive language, and interaction with peers to build social language. The materials I have requested will directly address the gaps my students experienced during the pandemic by simultaneously providing multisensory executive supports (active seating, sensory lighting, garden, tactile fidgets), speech therapy tools (mirrors, mouth models, speech sound booklets), and a wide variety of games targeting language (Apples to Apples, Last Word, Hedbandz, etc.) and turn-taking/social skills (Guess Who, Trouble, Uno etc.). The toys (Lego, food, etc.) help target very basic language concepts for my SSN (significant support needs) students who are using their electronic devices to learn to communicate.
