The "wiggle stools" will provide the stimulation necessary to allow my students to remain seated for longer periods of time and allow them to make better use of instructional time. These materials will not directly teach my students new skills, but they will help my students learn in all content areas. Instead of having to take a break from working in order to get movement and sensory stimulation they will be able to do both simultaneously! The donations for this project will improve my classroom by allowing students to stay seated and on task for longer periods of time and will reduce the number of interruptions to instructional activities throughout the school day. In addition, the dynamic seating will allow the students to strengthen their core muscles, and it is well documented that low muscle tone is often present in children with autism. I'm looking forward to seeing my students "wiggle while they work" and able to attend to classroom activities for longer periods of time.
