My Project

We are expanding flexible seating options to support the sensory needs of our Kindergarten students. Many of our students enjoy rocking but are not able to currently do so at their desks. We envision that this support will help students in their learning. We believe at LPA that all students should get what they need if that is within our control. You will see wobble seats, ball chairs, and t-stools in many of our classrooms. Adding the ability to rock and regulate will help diversify our sensory seat selection and enhance student regulation which will in turn help students access learning.
