My Project

Sometimes our special education friends have a hard time sitting in chairs or on the rug during class. They may lack the core muscles to support their bodies and sitting criss-cross applesauce is not always an option. In some cases, hard floors, even with rugs, do not offer the comfort that our kiddos desire. It is difficult for them to focus when they are uncomfortable.

Empowering special needs children is an important part of learning self-advocacy.

Having seating options, such as floor seats with back support, or cushions to perch upon during story time, not only helps physically but also empowers our young friends by allowing them choices.
