Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
As a licensed specialist in school psychology, I am provided the opportunity to work with children who may have unique learning and emotional/behavioral needs. All students learn differently and require different types of accommodations and support in order to be academically successful. Some minute changes in their seats during testing or daily would be of utmost benefit. They are like everyone else except with learning differences. My students' needs are unique but have the ability to learn if provided the opportunity by implementing supports into their environment.
My Project
We are requesting wobble cushions, balance ball seats, bouncy bands, fidgets, floor seats and beanbag seats. Sometimes being seated for long periods of time can cause anxiety and despair especially during testing situations, but when allowed to wobble in one’s seat, that may change the outcome in performance.
Changing the way one presents the environment and providing students with seating choices or choices in supports that they can use to maximize learning or performance during testing will prove to be beneficial in the long run for my students in the academic setting.
Allowing them the opportunity to wobble, yet remain seated will provide them the opportunity to move about, yet remain focused on the tasks presented to learn about their potential.
