My Students

I am an education specialist. I teach 3rd - 5th grade students with mild to moderate learning disabilities and students who struggle to learn in large group environments. Many of my students have a sensory processing disorder. My classroom is need of alternative seating, hands on therapy tools, and other items to help students be less over or under responsive to their environment. It's amazing how calming "theraputty", yoga-ball chairs, sofas, and wobble chairs can be to students on the autism spectrum!

I have students who are amazing artists, athletes, and alternative thinkers.

I love watching them shine in their own way.

My Project

Many of my special needs students have a sensory processing disorder and need alternative seating to help them focus.

These chairs have been shown to help students with autism and with sensory processing disorders.

This alternative to traditional seating gives kids a full range of movement—and the stability they need to wobble without tipping over! The chairs have contoured seats and a rounded, no-slip rubber base…plus, the durable plastic chairs’ unique design helps strengthen core muscles while encouraging proper posture. There are even built-in handles under the seats that make the chairs super-easy to pick up and move anywhere in the classroom.
