Tools To Promote Neuroinclusive Schooling!
Funded Mar 9, 2023Thank you so much for your generous contribution to the students at PS 4! As the materials come in the students have been so excited to try out their new gadgets and explore their new neuro-inclusive therapy space!
The light projector creates such a calm and peaceful environment between the visual and auditory experience it creates. The weighted blankets are so great for helping my students to feel their bodies and get the deep pressure input they crave in order to maintain a regulated emotional state.
Please know that I will use each of the items that your donation provided to the best of my ability in order to give my students all that they need to achieve success during teh school day!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

I look forward to using Donor's Choose in the future for my students. This has been a terrific experience...thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

Ball Chairs for Bouncy Minds!
Funded Jun 23, 2014This year my school received ball chairs and seat cushions thanks to all of your donations. The teachers and students were so excited and appreciative of the new equipment! Last year we had one chair that the students would have to share, now we have 4 chairs and 4 cushions!! The students are thrilled.
The chairs are currently being used by children that are diagnosed with autism. These students are ofetn not engaged in instruction when seated at their desks. Their posture is slumped and often times they can appear to be "spacing out." These students require movement in order to keep their brains alert and their focus in tact. The chairs and cushions that you helped to fund provide their body with this movement. They LOVE THEM!!
In the same way a cup of coffee is used by many adults to get them through the afternoon, a few bounces on their ball chair is helping students to "perk-up" for their afternoon of learning.”

Ms. DiCaro
