Support Ms. Mahoney's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
I am a speech-language pathologist in an urban district. I service pre-k to fourth grade students diagnosed with a variety of disorders, including receptive/expressive language, articulation, and pragmatic. Many of the students on my caseload are diagnosed with autism. They range from low to high functioning; however, many are non-verbal. They relay on pictures and/or high-tech communication devices to communicate (e.g. I-Pads). They also require a multi-modality approach to learning, which include a variety of visuals for them to use across the day (e.g. visual schedules). Unfortunately, my school does not have a colored printer accessible to special education. Colored visuals and pictures are not only important for their learning; but also, there ability to communicate their wants and needs.
