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

Hello everyone and thank you for checking out my page! I am a 20 year seasoned speech-language pathologist and I am in DESPERATE need of new supplies. Due to budget constraints, I am often left to my own devices to create speech therapy materials, incentives, decorations, motivators and toys for my students. In recent years, my caseload is shifting to more students with more challenging needs....especially the younger ones. I am constantly challenged with finding appropriate activities and toys to motivate them to sit, attend, interact and talk! A color printer and cardstock will help to create activities and PECS for my non verbal student. Puzzles, playdough and various toys will help keep their hands busy while eliciting language to ask for "more" or "help." These supplies would help me GREATLY! Thank you.
