My Project

Dear Potential Donors,

I have been in the field of special education for over 20 years.

I have learned so much but one lesson that has stuck with me is how important appropriate seating is, as well as how versatile. I have students that are begging for more appropriate chairs. Without seating they end up standing and therefore can miss key lessons. They want to learn but the sensory challenges can make it impossible. My goal is to build a tool box so students can choose the seating that will help them learn and advocate there needs.
