Goal

The objective of this product is to employ diverse instructional resources and pedagogical strategies to establish a strong foundation in oral communication with our language impaired ESE students, PreK - grade 5. These communication kits for ESE students with language impairments will be providing them with accessible tools and supports to express their wants, needs, ideas, and feelings. The kits will increase students’ opportunities to communicate effectively across academic, social, and daily living environments while promoting greater independence, participation, and inclusion in the school community.

What will be done with my students

1. Needs assessment (month 1): conduct interviews with SLPs, teachers, and administrators to identify current students with gaps in oral communication instruction. Review existing materials and tools currently being used and available.
2. Resource Development and Acquisition (month 2): purchase resource kits and develop evidence-based instruction for implementation.
3. Professional Training (month 3-4): conduct training sessions for SLPs of new materials and strategies.
4. Implementation (month 5-9): plot the developed resources and training outcomes with selected schools for 2026/2027 school year. District wide implementations will take place with on-going coaching being provided to SLPs by ESE Instructional Coach.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation (month 10): collect data on learner progress, SLP feedback, and communication outcomes. The effectiveness of training, materials, and resource utilization will be assessed. Adjustments will be made based on evaluation results.
6. Dissemination and Sustainability: Share findings, best practices, and resource materials with administration and coordinators. Develop a sustainable plan to maintain and expand the program beyond the grant period.  

 

Benefits to my Students

Benefits will include addressing language gaps by investing in targeted resources and innovative tools like the “Whole Kit & Kaboodle” Language Comprehensive System to enhance therapeutic outcomes for students with communication disorders while promoting equity, inclusion, and long-term academic success.  

 

Budget Narrative

Each kit costs approximately $400.00. With this grant, 5 kits will be purchased to use at the elementary level with our speech language pathologists (SLPs). The “Whole Kit and Kaboodle” are kits that can be reused from year to year. When updates to the program are needed, funding will be provided to replace kits as needed through school district funds and/or outside funding sources.
