My Project

Thank you for considering donating to my classroom!

I work as a speech therapist in a Title I school, where all of my students are students with disabilities and receive free breakfast and lunch.

A laptop that doesn't glitch would make my life as a school-based speech language pathologist much easier so I can effectively right my daily session notes, IEPs, report cards, evaluation reports, and annual reviews. A printer to print my students' data sheets, materials, and IEPs would also really benefit me, as the school is unable to supply me with one due to budget cuts. In addition, my students require interactive games in order to be engaged in sessions, and require prizes as positive reinforcement in speech sessions.
