Help Us Build An OT Lending library for Our Classrooms!

Funded May 11, 2017

Our school cannot thank you enough for the new resources we now have available for our students. Many of our students have greatly benefited from the new cushions, wobble chairs, and ear muffs. One wobble chair is helping a child in the classroom sit and focus. She asks to use the chair throughout the day when she has a hard time focusing. Before she would frequently fall off her regular school chair, or push her chair back and fall unsafely. This new wobble stool helps give her the movement she needs to focus and learn, whilst safely giving her movement. One "move and sit" cushion is a huge hit in the grade 3-5 classroom. The teacher gives each student some time to sit on the cushion throughout the school day. It helps them focus, and sit up straight. They are all very excited to get a turn, and love that it's the colour purple. The ear muffs are being used for some children who are very sensitive to noise. When we go on field trips, or sit in the loud lunchroom these earmuffs have been helpful for these students to stay calmer and stay with the class. The howdahug chairs are being used during quiet reading time in one classroom, and gives the student input to help them stay calm and quiet for independent work.

We are very grateful for these new items for our classrooms! Thank you!”

With gratitude,
