Every Voice Matters!
Augusta Evans is a school where each student brings a unique and purposeful voice. The voice can be heard through a variety of modes. From speaking to even using low tech and high tech speech devices, our teachers and speech pathologists come together with one goal in mind. The goal of functional and meaningful communication is a top priority for our students and parents. We offer a speech make and take and invite our parents/guardians each year to gain tools, information, and resources to assist with their child’s communication needs at home and in other environments away from school. We create symbols, boards, or schedules to use at home with family and friends. These items may include pictures of favorite toys, family members, friends, food items, pets, etc. We can also discuss any concerns regarding your child and work on solutions to help improve their communication. During the Make and Take we offer the opportunity to attend a special training session on a new program called Cboard. Cboard is a web-based, speech output communication board system that is completely FREE and is compatible on all devices that can access the internet (phones, tablets, computers; Apple, Android, etc.). The Speech Therapists of Augusta Evans School are preparing our annual Make & Take for you!
