Help our students have a more organized, ergonomic, and neat learning environment. We can serve up to 10 students in a small room in the basement, and having a bunch of desks pushed together gives us limited space for movement activities such as yoga, usage of the trampoline, and sensory breaks. Our current space has older desks of varying sizes, with some chairs that don't fit under the current desks. Being OTs, we definitely appreciate proper chair and desk sizes for our students. Having proper desk and chair sizes provide students with more stability when completing any writing or desk activity. Having students' feet touch the floor is ideal, and having a desk height not above the elbows. This new clover desk will definitely serve many uses in our room. Our student population varies from students that have ADHD, autism, and other developmental delays, who are commonly affected by clutter. Reduced distractions will improve the learning environment for these students. We strive to help them meet their goals, but are requesting your assistance to improve the learning dynamic of our OT atmosphere.
