My Project

In order to better serve my students with special needs who have multi-sensory needs, flexible seating will help regulate their sensory input.

My goals for this project are to serve my students and help them reach their fullest potential.

Each student is unique and has their own diverse needs.

My students have a diverse set of needs which often result in them exhibiting behaviors that are unsuitable for the general education environment. They require a unique environment that allows them to meet their goals in a safe and healthy way. Each student has their own special personality and strengths. We strive to give them the opportunity to showcase these in conditions that highlight their individual personalities in the best light.
