Many of the students I work with on a daily basis struggle with keeping their sensory systems regulated. The sights, sounds, and overall experience of school environment are too much for their little bodies and minds to handle. Often, my children are in a state of "flight or fight" which results in them being labeled as behavior problems, hyperactive and disruptive. As a therapist, I know that these children are in fact, motivated to behave and please their teachers; the problem is that their bodies just can't handle the stress of a typical school day. Your donation will be a huge help in getting my students the sensory input that their bodies so desperately crave. Swings provide proprioceptive, tactile, and vestibular input, which are the proven to be the most effective means of regulating a person's sensory system. Without this frame, my students will not have access to such input. No student asks to have autism or ADHD or sensory processing disorder. No student wants to be labeled a problem in their class. Please help me in getting my students the tools they need to achieve success!
