Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Can you imagine feeling fidgety, unable to focus, and anxious all day? My students face sensory integration issues which make it difficult to function in the classroom. Children often have difficulty sitting still for long periods of time.

I teach students with autism in fourth through sixth grades.

We are in a self-contained school with students with autism ranging from kindergarten to 22. We depend a lot on the use of visuals in the classroom to help the children be successful in their day. The students I serve have varying levels of skills and need.

My Project

The ball chair will change the day to day routine of our students! Could you imagine having this amazing chair at your desk each day!? We will be more engaged in our writing activities, be more interested in our writing instruction, and enjoy the time we have to spend at our learning tables. Children need to move. A ball chair will give my students the ability to change positions while paying attention in class.

Sensory integration is an essential part of programming for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

By helping each student meet their sensory needs you will enable my students to feel safe and calm in their school environment.
