Special Needs Students Who Need Flexible Seating

Funded Sep 15, 2021

It is with pleasure that I thank you for the wiggle seats and standing desk. Many of the special needs students I work with have a diagnosis of attention deficit disorders and need the seats to support their ability to sustain attention. This is as you can imagine very important for my students to attend to reading, listening and other academic tasks.

I have needed to provide some of my students with the wiggle seats in their classrooms along with my classroom as well. I provide pull-out academic support in a small group setting. Many students walk in my room and look for the wiggle seats to place on their chair. They have become a part of my classroom. The standing desk has also been an added support as well. Currently, I have a small space but in the near future I should have a larger space when our school renovation is completed so in the meantime I have loaned the standing desk to one of my coworkers to utilize for our students. The desk provides flexibility for students to move around, stand and utilize the swinging foot bar.

My students are greatly appreciative and these seating options are accommodating and supportive to all our students.”

With gratitude,
