I work with many children daily as a counselor. My work is busy, tedious and extremely stressful. Daily I am having children sit at my desk to be evaluated or counseled. My desk is extremely old and on its last leg. The top is torn apart and I have to cover it with papers when working with the children in case they hurt themselves on sharp jutting shards of wood. My chair is small and these days my back hurts from the long hours of uncomfortable sitting. Ergonomics is not a word heard our environment.
I want to have a proper desk to work with my students and a decent chair to sit on to counsel them. I want to give them the best of me in a comfortable inviting environment but am unable to do so.
I work with students who are hyperactive and unable to focus and function properly at times. I need to have a few yoga mats for them to lay on and do gentle exercises when they are unable to focus. Sometimes they need to simply lay out in the gym on the floor to calm their bodies. The gym floor is often dusty and there are no mats for them to lay down on. I am currently writing a project to get these amazing students a sensory swing as I believe this can help improve their days greatly.
Please help me to better support these most amazing students. If I and the students can be comfortable at my desk as we work together our days will go so much more smoothly.
