Every student deserves a voice. 🗣️✨
We are incredibly grateful to The Fayetteville Area Community Foundation for their generous $4,000 grant to our Special Education department! These funds are being used to purchase specialized iPads that serve as "voices" for our nonverbal and minimally verbal learners. By using these AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) devices, our students can now share their ideas, express their needs, and connect with their peers like never before.
Thank you for helping us live out our motto! 🍎💻

Did you also know that in addition to helping students produce sounds correctly—they also are language and communication specialists, problem solvers, literacy supporters, and vital members of the educational team?
School-based SLPs play a critical role in helping students develop the foundational skills needed to learn, connect, and succeed. Every single day they support:
🗣 Speech sound development
📚 Language and vocabulary skills
✍️ Reading and writing foundations
🧠 Listening comprehension and auditory memory
🤝 Social communication and peer interaction
🍎 Safe swallowing and feeding when needed
🎓 Classroom participation and academic success
And much more...
Communication is a fundamental human right—and our SLPs help make that possible. Help us honor these 47 dedicated professionals by giving them a shout-out, word of thanks and appreciation, meaningful story, or words of encouragement. Thank you, Springdale SLPs, for giving students a voice and the tools to thrive.
