My students are so magnificent and I want to give them the best classroom environment. My students are in a specialized D75 6:1:1 class. I need new furniture because I have six students and I will now have eight students, grades 3-5. A little bit about my students.... they have special needs including autism, learning disabled, sensory needs, and global delays. I currently have six students and I am so excited that I will have eight students in September. Some of the students were in a more restrictive environment, meaning they made progress and can now move to a less restrictive environment (kudos to the kids). The students need new furniture so they can make the best of their school day. We work with great physical/occupational therapists that have expressed concerns about posture and height for writing. The students have five subjects in the same class, so I want them to be comfortable so they can learn. Students with special needs have sensory/environment issues; this will solve a lot of their issues and help them not struggle while learning. Comfort is key for my students.
