Youth In Action will be raising funds on the day for Lucas Gardens School in Canada Bay, which provides educational programs for students with intellectual and physical disabilities, sensory impairments and complex medical conditions.

The fundraising target is $2,500 to support a project called Communication beyond the walls of the classroom. These funds will allow the purchase of four sets of iPads and software called proloqu2G to support student communication.

The majority of students at the school are non-verbal or have little speech and the aim of this project is for every child to have a voice. This specialised equipment will be used by the staff on playground duty and during community access programs to support children to communicate.
