Wheels to Chair Seating

Help me give my students accessible places to sit other than their wheelchairs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Byrd's classroom raised $736

This project is fully funded

My Project

Some of my students are medically-fragile pre-schoolers at an all inclusive special education school. The two additional bean bags will allow us to get students that do not have trunk condition an additional option to sit. These students often wear AFOs which makes their legs stiff. Their multiple disabilities, including intellectual and orthopedic impairments make it hard for them to bend their backs into a sitting position.

Wheels to Chairs Seating would be great to allow another area for my wheelchair kids to sit!!

I also would like the two C-chairs to allow students that are in wheelchairs that have trunk control an ability to sit elsewhere. These little ones are able to sit in a sitting position, but they may be wobbly and need the additional seal belt on this device to help them. It will also allow those that are able to crawl some additional support with their tummy control. Please help me make this project a reality, and allow my students additional areas to sit outside of their wheelchairs.
