Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and you can help be a part of that. I teach a Structured Learning Class (SLC) for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder who require a highly structured and highly visual environment.

My students have sensory issues which is what causes them to constantly rock in their chair.

For the safety and stimulation of my students, our classroom is in desperate need of "Ball’n’chairs". Most of my students constantly rock in their regular school chairs. This is not only dangerous because they may fall backwards and hit their head, but they are more focused on trying to rock a non-rocking chair than on the task at hand. I tried using a rocking chair; however, they were not receptive to this change due to the limited mobility the chair offers.

My Project

It is my dream to have all my students want to sit at the table with out experiencing sensory overload. Therapy ball chairs are dynamic, relatively low-cost seating alternatives that provide children with the opportunity to “both actively move and maintain an optimal arousal level” (Schilling & Schwartz, 2004, p. 424). The "Ball-n-chair" is an excellent sensory based strategy to incorporate into our classroom because it will keep them focused and prevent them from becoming overwhelmed. Therefore allowing students to be socially motivated to sit and attend to lessons. The "Ball-n-chair" will positively reinforce this behavior.

I feel absolutely positive that these "Ball’n’chairs" will increase the engagement of my students to our lessons, increase student safety, and will have an overall positive impact in my students' lives.
