<p>Sophie's Run at Lake Waukomis benefits the children in surrounding communities by assisting them in obtaining technology that will help them in school and life. Our goal is to provide children who have special needs the means to more effectively communicate and interact with their peers. Park Hill School District has documented the work being done in the classrooms with Assistive Technology Devices donated to the Assistive Tech Library in the District and the students and their families who have been awarded scholarships.</p>
<p>Alternative augmentative communication provides students with expressive communication, increasing literacy, improvements in curriculum, social communication, social interaction and development, and most importantly, independence. Our goal through the foundation is to decrease the amount of time students wait to access a personal communication device and to assist the student’s parents/guardians with training so that the augmentative communication is carried through at home, in school, and the community.</p>
