Creating a Safe Space

Funded Dec 1, 2021

Thank you so much for your donations to my creating a safe space project. The bean bag chairs are the biggest items and are a favorite choice of seating for the students to get work done, using the lap desks with them. The weighted blanket has been used multiple times to help students feel more grounded.

The students that enter my room are often upset, angry and disregulated. Having the chairs, blanket, cushions and lap desks really help provide them a calming space so that they can process their emotions and the events that led to their placement in ISI in the first place.

I have been able to use them as part of an incentive program to help these students get their work completed and improve their behavior.”

With gratitude,
