My Project

I am a special education teacher in a 7th and 8th grade inclusion classroom. My students are a lively bunch. They love flexible seating and would love more options. We currently only have very few options, and not enough for everyone.

Many of our students come from low-income households, and school is a place they feel comfortable and safe.

Our students often lose focus because they have a lot energy. They don't always have a way to manage their energy level while sitting in the classroom.

Providing several options for flexible seating in the classroom will improve learning, increase focus, and improve behavior management. We do a lot of group work and collaborative projects, and the portable lap desk seats will be perfect when groups need to meet in different spaces in the classroom.

  • Marietta, OH
    • More than half of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 11 students.
