I teach in a K-2 autism classroom in a high-need community. My special education classroom was set up to help meet the needs of this unique population of students.
Being new to the district, I have limited funds, and my needs are not always put first. My students need different sensory related equipment to help them successful get through the day. My goal for my students is to eventually move to a regular education setting, but they need to first learn how to meet their own needs.
Many of the sensory activities that I would like to do with my students require a balance beam. My other alternatives are not safe and do not meet the goals that I have set for my students. The Fun Barrel will also help my students meet their need to rock, climb, roll...the possibilities are endless! The balance beam and fun barrel can also be used in team and social building exercises that are really important to the education of an autistic student.
You will make it possible for my students to learn how to meet their own sensory needs and eventually become integrated into the regular education classroom.
