Help me give my students non-distracting seating options, visual timers, and tools to help students with disabilities perform and focus like their peers in a Gen Ed setting.
Students in my middle school classroom always want to fit in, they do not want to be seen as different, struggling, or needing additional resources to manage their days. This project will help those students who are struggling specifically our population of ADHD and Autistic students, fit in, be able to focus and not struggle nearly as much in a general education setting and classroom.
Rocking chairs, bouncy bands, bicycle pedals, visual timers, calming tubes, weighted blankets and calming strategies will allow my fidgeting students thrive in a general education classroom.
Currently my students are choosing to work with some of the tools I have in my room such as wiggle seats, and pedals, but I would like to provide more opportunities for all students to have comfort and focus in the classroom.
I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at a traditional desk with no other supports.
