For Purpose/Program:
The Expanding Expression Tool Kit (EET) uses a multisensory approach that has shown
excellent results. It is being used in schools across the country to facilitate improved
expression and comprehsnion. EET helps build the following language skills; oral &written
expression, vocabulary comprehension, defining and describing, making associations,
stating functions of objects, categorization, and similarities/differences.
Describe the goals of your program in detail:
Language arts is essential for academic success. Without oral language, students have
difficulty organizing information while speaking, writing, or pulling valuable information from
their reading material. The goal is to provide structure for the struggling students and give
them a hands on approach to describing and defining. As a mnemonic device, it provides
visual and tactile information which facilitates improved language organization.
Describe the needs of your program:
I work in a Title 1 Public School where many students do not get the added support at home
and their needs are not always completely met at school. When students do not have
access to 'life" experiences (i.e. going to the zoo), their language skills are impacted. This
program is aimed to enahace their communication skills as well as written expression and
comprehension and there continues to be a need for their areas to be improved upon.
Describe the participants of your program:
The participants of the program are over 50 speech and language impaired students
currently on my caseload. I would be able to teach teachers how to implement the program
in their classrooms so at the end of the day, we could be reaching almost 1,000 students in
Boynton Beach.
Give a brief description of current finances and fundraising efforts to meet your goal in this request:
I am currently living paycheck to paycheck so I am unable to purchase the EET kit at this
time. I don't want my lack of finances to take away from students who are in need.
