My Project

My Kindergarten students have a lot of energy! Many of them have sensory processing disorders and are constantly moving and seeking sensory input through jumping, running, or fidgeting. My students climb or roll on furniture to fulfill their need for intense sensory stimulation, but this is not the safest option. They need a safe place to jump, fall, and roll.

The Skil Care Crash Pad has ample cushion to keep my students comfortable and safe.

It also allows my students who are feeling overstimulated a secure place to sit and rest. Lastly, this crash pad will help my students' vestibular and proprioceptive senses, which will ultimately impact learning. Please help my students so they can be successful in school.
