My Project

We serve students in grades K-3 with special needs. Our students have an assortment of needs ranging from Developmental Delay, Speech Impairment, Language Impairment, Hard of Hearing, and Other Health impairments.

Kidney tables will help our students have a spot for effective small-group instruction.

We currently have hand-me-down tables that make it difficult to see the student work. This makes it difficult to quickly provide corrective feedback. Two kidney tables would help my assistant and me run effective small groups for reading and math. Being close to the students while teaching will help manage behaviors as well.

  • Liberty Preschool
  • Indianapolis, IN
    • More than a third of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 28 students.
