Many of the students I work with have multiple struggles in the classroom. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices and additional sensory tools to meet their needs and help them to be better able to learn. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk, but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! Many times children struggle to regulate their moods and emotions and the fidget tools help them to calm. Many children who are struggling experience difficulties with regulating their sensory systems. A weighted blanket and body sock would be utilized with the oversight of our school occupational therapist. Additionally I am trialing the use of fluorescent light covers. Research in the use of light in schools has shown that cool-white fluorescent bulbs, (which are used in virtually all classrooms) cause: bodily stress, anxiety, hyper-activity, attention problems and other distress leading to poor learning performance.
