My project is aimed to getting tools to help students with special needs tools to help them concentrate. Often times, students get in trouble for disrupting others (without even realizing it or meaning to) when they can't keep still, when in reality, fidgeting can be a great tool to help students focus.
By having options for students to move around a little bit within their seats, I can show them that while I care about them learning, I also can see they have their own individual needs that need to be met before they can fully succeed.
There are so many options when it comes to flexible seating. I noticed that students often times have to be moving and tapping their feet when working, and the chair bands and sitting balls would help with any noise.
I also have several students who like the freedom to sit on the floor and having something to set their Chromebook on would make them feel a sense of freedom from the usual table and chairs they are used to working in.
I want my students to feel accepted and comfortable in my classroom, and this is a way to show them that not only do I care about them, but that I will do everything I can to help them succeed.
