If You Can't Make the Room Bigger....

My students need to be able to move around in their classroom. We have large tables that we would like to replace with ten single desks.

My Students

Imagine sharing your work space with someone who spreads out all over your space! Imagine needing to get up and move, but having no place to go! We would like to replace our large tables with some single desks. We need to have some sensory breaks!

Our school is +90% autistic, currently grades K -10, expanding to K - 12 in a few years.

We have sensory breaks every 15-30 minutes, which can be difficult in our small spaces. Our class size is kept at 16 or less, but with a full class and 8 tables, the classrooms do not have room for any movement. We have a wonderful school where everyone works to create a loving learning space for students who are just trying to make it through life. Many of our students know they are in a safe environment, and are working so hard to succeed. We want to help them on their path to their wonderful futures. Our staff works together as a team, using the same expectations for all of our students, yet treating all of our students as individuals. In this specialized environment we can watch our students blossom!

My Project

With our current tables, the room set-up only allows for different walking spaces. By removing some of the larger tables, and putting in the smaller desks, we can arrange the space so we have an open area where the kids can grab a pillow and read a book, play a game with friends, or just have a mini dance party! Our tables are heavy and bulky, and take time to push to the walls, losing either valuable academic time, or limiting the sensory break. Smaller desks will be easier to move if necessary, or by just taking up less floor space, we are going to create more of an open area. Working with students on the autism spectrum, it becomes necessary to create an atmosphere that is uncluttered. The open floor space allows for less congestion, and less distraction. Some of our students have executive functioning issues. Containing their things in the smaller space will help with their organization as well!

Having the additional space by replacing the bulky tables, our students will be able to access sensory breaks in an uncluttered environment.

At the same time, our larger tables can be moved to our new building addition, and used as work tables in the new library. This will be a win-win for many students.
