My Project

I am looking to provide my students with safe, comfortable flexible seating options within my classroom. I would like to give my students who are wheelchair bound and have physical limitations a safe alternative seating option to relieve pressure points outside of their wheelchairs.

My students are high school aged special education students who require 1-1 assistance for almost all daily activities.

An important program goal is to increase student independence and communication. Providing my students with more safe seating/break options helps to facilitate communication.

Any help to make my wonderful students happy and comfortable would be greatly appreciated! I wish I could give them the world! Thank you!
