My Students
My students are simply AMAZING! They face life with many challenges and struggles that many of us would take for granted. I have students that struggle to walk, struggle to express their wants and feelings, and I have students that require a bit more time to grasp basic concepts. BUT that does not deter them. They continue to persevere until they get it. My students are kind, loving, and excited to spend time together. They light up with every part of their being when they are happy or accomplish a task. They work hard to learn and practice their skills and lessons. They inspire me to keep going and do my best. They reinforce to me that life is a wonderful adventure to be apart of. I love working with my students every day.
My Project
Many of my students struggle to focus on lessons, activities, or anything that requires a few minutes of concentration.
A wobble cushion helps students to manage the over-stimulation or the under-stimulation of the classroom to control their own concentration on the task that needs to be completed.
Many of the behaviors of kids with sensory problems overlap with symptoms of ADHD, from trouble sitting still or concentrating to melting down when they are expected to make a transition from one activity to another.
The wobble cushion will be used as an option for students to manage their wiggles long enough to concentrate on the task at hand. I will be teaching my students self-management behaviors to be able to control their focus as children, which in turn will creating successful behaviors as adults.
