Having the tools to communicate helps students share what they know and take part in classroom learning. Troia Butcher is helping make those opportunities more accessible for nonspeaking students across the School District of Lancaster.
“Troia has been an invaluable resource for the special education department navigating alternate modalities of communication for our complex learners,” her nominator shared. “Troia has gone above and beyond to make sure our nonspeaking students have access to communication devices and apps as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
For a nonspeaking student, access to a communication device can mean being able to contribute to a class discussion or let a teacher know when they need help. These tools can also support everyday conversations with classmates and give students more opportunities to express their ideas and make their own choices.
Troia’s attention to getting those resources into students’ hands helps educators support communication throughout the school day. Her work makes a difference in students’ opportunities to participate and connect with the people around them.
Thank you, Troia, for helping ensure our students have what they need to learn and grow!
