Help me give my students the opportunity to experience the joy of movement through tailored exercises designed for children with physical disabilities. Engaging in physical activity not only enhances their physical well-being but also boosts their mental health

Celebrating 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
Exercising with resistance bands, muscle rollers, and muscle stimulation machines can significantly enhance the mental health of physically handicapped children. These tools provide a low-impact yet effective means of engaging in physical activity, which is essential for promoting well-being. Resistance bands facilitate strength training, allowing kids to build muscle at their own pace, fostering a sense of achievement and empowerment. Muscle rollers help alleviate tension and improve circulation, enhancing overall comfort. Meanwhile, muscle stimulation machines can provide therapeutic benefits, reducing pain and promoting relaxation. Collectively, these exercises not only boost physical health but also improve mood, self-esteem, and social interaction, creating a holistic approach to mental wellness for these children.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
