My Project

My students have complex needs and with the increase of ADHD diagnoses we have a lot of students that need alternative seating arrangements as well sensory breaks from loud classmates. These items will allow for my students to move their body the way they need to as well increase their ability learn in their own way.

My goals for this project is that my students will be more successful in class with their ability to move.

My students are special because they do not have a lot of advocates for them, and I am strongly advocating for them.
