My Project

I work with gifted learners. These students are often twice exceptional, meaning that in addition to being gifted thinkers and gifted learners, they may also have ADHD, Autism, or other neurodivergencies.

Being able to move frequently without distracting others is a balancing act and an opportunity to learn and grow that we embrace fully in my classroom.

These fidgets are quiet, colorful, and would allow students to keep moving without distracting others. We have tried Rubik's cubes, puzzle boxes, and other such items, but the noise can distract and stress out other students. These are quiet, and I love that.

This chair seems amazing. It is my dream to have a few of these for students to use when they need to have sustained focus for longer periods. Many times, I offer the option of simply moving to a different seat or a bean bag, but other times, it is necessary to stay at our assigned tables. This seat would make that possible for the truly hyperactive student.
