My Project: As the demands of school are increasing, staying focused and alert has gotten ever more challenging for K-5 students in the New York City public schools. According to current data for PS 36, 85% of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. 11% of our students are English language learners and 25% are students with special needs. Students with disabilities, living in impoverished communities need as much help as possible getting the equipment needed to improve participation in school based activities. Many of the NYC public schools lack the funding for extra supplies, exercise and sensory based equipment. Students with various learning disabilities including ADHD and Autism have pronounced sensory needs and require adaptive equipment and external supports, such as weighted vests, weighted lap pads, Therabands (resistance bands),Theraputty (for fine motor strength in preparation for writing) Seating Discs and Wedge Cushions to help maintain a “ready to learn” state of being. Not only would this equipment be used in the therapy room, it would be used for pushing into the classroom, maintaining that the least restrictive environment is always considered the optimal goal.
