Flexible Seating = Flexible Minds

Funded Jan 22, 2022

It was like Christmas when we received the packages containing our new flexible seating materials! The students were working on an essay at the time, and it was so fun to open the boxes and hand out lap desks and cushions to the students which allowed them to move around the room and sit where they felt comfortable. The students kept saying how cool everything was and how much they enjoyed using them.

Students are allowed to grab various options for their seating every day, and it has helped many of them to burn off extra energy or cope with nervous ticks and habits, particularly those with ADHD/ADD, are on the autism spectrum, or have behavior issues.

Students will continue to use these materials on a daily basis and on days when we do writing or individual work, students will use the lap desks to spread out around the room. We have some major writing projects coming up, and these will be perfect! Thank you so much for you generous contribution!”

With gratitude,
