Choice of chair is just one of many choices we make each day, but getting to choose gives voice to our students and allows them to explore their preferences. \r\nLetters can be tricky for little learners with special needs. It's an abstract idea, letters and sounds. The use of these magnets makes it tangible and provides hands on learning and fun sensory input with the mix of colors and the click-clack of the letters as we spell on magnetic boards. \r\nYour support during our first year means everything.
