My Project

I am requesting an iPad so my students can access a system that assesses their ability to express themselves. My students use various resources that come in different forms to target language.

Having this mini iPad will allow me to download various communication applications while evaluating a student's augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) needs.

With this type of technology, I can store multiple communication versions that my students can trial in different settings and see if they are appropriate for certain alternative communication programs. The stylus pencil, will help students navigate different apps and provide another outlet that require touch/tap options. It will also allow my students to practice other pre-literacy skills such as drawing, scribbling, and writing their names.

My ultimate goal for this project is to have a tool that can be used as an assessment as well as a therapeutic tool to help target a multimodal communication model in my classroom.

Having a lightweight and portable device will help my students explore language opportunities in different academic settings and access different types of communication programs device. With your help, I will be able to motivate these young communicators and assess their needs properly.
