Beaver Acres Elementary, Speech-Language Team hasn't added a story.
All of my students have something to say! I am a Speech-Language Pathologist serving three Independent Skills Center classrooms (ISC) at Beaver Acres Elementary. The 28 students that attend these classrooms have complex communication needs who lack the verbal skills and/or formal communication systems to communicate with the adults and peers in their classrooms. They are inquisitive, engaging and energetic; however, they are unable to communicate on a daily basis to indicate their needs and wants, comment, or negotiate with communication partners. They are not able to share their academic knowledge. Often times they have not tried alternative methods to communicate.
I am hoping for an iPad with the Touch Chat application. This application is a communication application that is easy to use and can be personalized for multiple users. Through the use of the Touch Chat application students would be able to indicate both academic knowledge as well as their wants and needs. They would be able to communicate with their peers. The access to these applications would gleam information about their communication skills and help to facilitate obtaining their own communication systems in the future. Research has shown that building and facilitating early communication skills helps to build competent communicators.
When you donate to help my students communicate, your generous donation would go towards the following:
- Touch Chat with Picture Word Power application 299.99

- iPad Pro 10.5-inch 64GB: 649.00 (Best Buy)
- Otter Box Protective Case: 51.99 (Best Buy)
- Total: 1000.98
Communication is everyone’s given right. I hope you agree with this too!
