My Project

Hi Everyone,

I am a Special Education teacher of a self-contained high school class.

I teach students with disabilities such as Autism, ADHD, and emotionally disturbed. I am trying to reach out to the community to see if anyone can help me transform my classroom to meet the needs of my students by altering their seating arrangement.

I am requesting saucer chairs, a small couch and tailgate chairs, and a stand-up desk.

I have found in the past that when students have options on how they learn they do better.

Thank you so much for your time.

Ms. Devine McCown Expeditionary Learning School Grades 9-12
