Flexible Seating Resources

Help me give my students resources to regulate themselves in various ways by using sensory items to calm their body.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ventsias's classroom raised $426

My Project

What I love about my students is the different ways we can help improve their emotional and social skills. We use fidgets and flexible seating options to help regulate them and enhance their learning. Help me give my students with emotional disabilities access to the sensory tools to help them regulate themselves. I would love to be able to give my students the option to choose different seating options to help them focus on the task at hand. This would also allow the students different break places to process emotions in the classroom.
