Technology and Motivation

Help me give my students technology with an Apple iPad Air, apple pencil, and external microphone, so they can access biofeedback apps to help them acquire good speech sounds.

My Project

The students I work with in speech therapy attend a Title I school. They come from a variety of backgrounds and languages, but all want to succeed with their speech and language goals. They deserve to have the best technology to access communication apps.

My students will use this iPad to access biofeedback apps to help them acquire and produce their speech sounds accurately and clearly.

This technology is not available to them in their every day lives. Additionally, it's important to provide motivators as they work hard on developing new skills, often skills that are very difficult for them.

My students are the most amazing individuals. They love coming to speech and knowing that they are becoming better communicators each week. Help me take them to the next step!
