My Project

My students are incredible learners with unique needs. Many of them are on the autism spectrum and benefit from a classroom environment that supports sensory regulation, movement, and personal space. Traditional desks and chairs just don't work for everyone—especially for students who need flexibility to stay calm, focused, and engaged.

This project will provide flexible seating of wobble stools.

These tools aren't just furniture—they are essential supports that help students self-regulate, reduce anxiety, and stay involved in learning.

When students with autism have choices about how and where they sit, their ability to concentrate, participate, and connect with peers improves dramatically. Flexible seating helps meet sensory needs while also empowering students with a sense of control over their environment.

With your help, we can create a classroom that celebrates differences and supports every student’s ability to learn in a way that works best for them.

Thank you for believing in our classroom and making a lasting impact on these amazing learners.
