My Project

My students are kind, caring and extremely hard working. Due to a lot of their disabilities however, they struggle maintaining their attention when asked to sit for long periods of time in "standard" school seating, as well as when they are asked to do computer work without headphones.

Research studies show that providing adaptive seating for students with disabilities, is one of the best supports that we can use to enhance their learning.

Providing them with adaptive seating where they can better regulate their bodies will give them the boost they need to succeed in all classroom settings not just my own!
