My Project

Because faster movements are easier than slow movements or stillness, children with autism need movement very often through their learning day. The word stim is short for self-stimulation. The wobble chairs will help scholars stim, while sitting and learning. Stimming often interferes with everyday activities and prevents learning. However, the wobble chairs will give scholars a chance to move as much and often as they need to in their own space and at their own pace.I love each and every one of my students. I know this will help them learn in the classroom.
