This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Dittenber from Grand Rapids, MI is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating for Students Who Are Neurodivergent!

Help me give my students flexible seating options. As a teacher, I believe students learn best when they are able to pick their seats and sit around the classroom. My hope is to have many options for students.

My Project

As a teacher with ADHD, I tend to have students in my classroom who also need special accommodations in order to be successful in the general education classroom. I take this very seriously, and I love to offer a variety of seating options for my students to choose from. Sitting at a desk is not beneficial for all students, and I find that many of my students prefer to sit around the room while I am teaching.

Creating a positive and inclusive learning environment is my top priority.

That is why everything that I am asking for in my project will help all students be successful in the classroom. The couch and alternative places to write will help students pick a spot anywhere in the classroom where they are able to learn best and be successful.
