My Project

My students are bright, determined, and full of energy—but many of them face challenges with motor skills that can make physical education difficult without the right support. I teach a Special Day Class of 5th to 8th graders, and we are in need of inclusive and adapted physical education tools that promote movement, coordination, and confidence.

Many of my students have weak gross motor skills and need equipment that is safe, engaging, and accessible.

From soft, oversized balls to balance aids and adapted fitness games, these tools will help them participate in physical activities in a way that’s fun, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to their unique needs.

Physical movement isn’t just about exercise—it supports focus, social skills, and overall well-being. With your help, we can create a PE experience where every student feels successful, included, and empowered.

Thank you for helping my students grow stronger in both body and spirit!
