Fidgeting Freedom Flexible Seating

Help me give my students flexible seating for those with sensory or fidgety feet without drawing attention to just one individual. I would like to have the chair band placed on all desks within the classroom.

My Project

Fidgeting freedom for all students that benefit by having flexible seating. The Chair Bands will offer the students with or without sensory or fidgety feet by allowing them the freedom to bounce their feet on the bands while still being seated. If granted this project, a chair band will be placed on all desks within the classroom therefore eliminating any attention being drawn to just one individual student. Studies show that physical activity helps to increase focus and attention while sitting, especially for learners with ADD and or ADHD. I would appreciate the support in assisting my students with a healthy option to aid their focus while lowering their anxiety.

Mrs. Fiorilli (Mama Fio) will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 16.
