My Project

I am a Special Education Teacher and I want to create a soothing environment for all students, but targeting my students with an intellectual disability.

ADHD students often have excess energy and struggle with restlessness.

Sitting in a swing chair or having a fidget band allows them to move and expend energy in a controlled manner. The gentle swinging motion of a swing chair can promote a calming effect on the nervous system, potentially improving an ADHD student's ability to focus and sustain attention.

Having basic supplies would ensure that students have the necessary tools to engage in their learning. These supplies can help promote active participation, creativity, and organization in the classroom. These resources can support their individualized learning and inclusion in the classroom, helping them overcome barriers and reach their full potential!
