Service-Learning Proposal Description

1.

Briefly describe the project and the community need to be addressed.

Answer The Center for Communication Disorders on campus is offering a music and communication class for an inclusive group of young children who will benefit from support in language and communication. The purpose of the music class is described to families at the clinic as stated below: • First, to provide an enriching and engaging environment for your child to engage in peer interactions while practicing language and communication skills with the support of our student clinicians and Ms. Jackson, our adaptive music teacher. • Secondly, to gently introduce expectations and structures similar to a class setting in ways that promote and value diverse forms of participation. Peer interactions are one of the most powerful and meaningful learning opportunities children can have during these early years. • Music acts as an invitation and guide for our child participants as they explore new ways of interacting, communicating, and using language. This summer student clinicians in speech language pathology will be collaborating with students in adaptive music education and with facilitators from Eau Claire’s Family Resource Center to create a learning rich environment for your children.
