Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Flexible seating is an important part of a special education class and my wish is for students to be comfortable and ready to learn.

Flexible seating is important for special needs children because it allows for customization of the learning environment to better support their sensory, physical, and emotional needs.

Many children with special needs, especially those with sensory processing disorders or autism, benefit from seating options that help regulate sensory input. Flexible seating allows students to choose what works best for their attention and comfort. Being comfortable can reduce distractions and increase focus on learning tasks.
