Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students will use this to develop and improve trunk strength. This bolster is also used to help students with sensory processing disorders. We have an old one that is falling apart. I am constantly repairing it using tape because my students love it! I am looking to replace it! My students range from 3K to 5th grade. They receive PT services at school in order to improve their participation with their typically developing peers. I would love to surprise my students with a new one which we can use for many years. Thank you!
