Bean Bag Chairs

Funded Sep 26, 2022

Thank you so much for donating the bean bag chairs for our classroom at Willard Elementary School. The students have enjoyed a comfortable place to stretch out and allow time out of their wheelchairs during the school day.

Good Postural Management offers many health benefits, including:

Respiration / digestion / circulation: Internal organs function much better when they are not compressed through poor posture.

Bowel and bladder function: Constipation and discomfort have a significant impact on health and general mood. Adopting multiple positions throughout the day enables gravity to work favorably, allowing postural drainage

Mental health: Many children who are non-verbal rely on eye contact to communicate. Being in a poor posture and gazing at the floor can cut the student off from the rest of the world. Engaging and interacting with peers is more stimulating and will aid social development.

As you can see position changes are vital to our students with special needs and we truly appreciate your generosity.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Susan
