My Project

I am an 8th grade special education teacher and would love to add flexible seating in my resource room. The students have sat in desks all day and by time they come to resource, they struggle sitting in a standard school desk. A lot of my students have ADHD and by the end of the day, the medicine has worn down or they need to be up and out of their desks. I implemented a few exercise balls last year and it made a HUGE difference. I would love to add more options for students. Majority of my students receive free or reduced lunch as well.

Please help me add in flexible seating to help the students strive academically in a more comfortable environment.
