The students in my room need a comfortable place to feel safe and cared for. A new chair will provide that for them. Whether they choose to sit in the chair with or without me, the warmth of a cozy cushion will help to ease their anxiety and allow them to work to their optimal level. Many students that see me are those that struggle with social emotional needs. They are often in crisis when they get to my room, or are close to giving up. A quiet space with a cozy chair and blanket will give them the opportunity to calm down, refocus, and think about what their next step might be. Because it could be decorated or draped, a new chair could serve as a reward, a safe spot, a performance stage, or a sensory space. The uses are limitless!
