Flexible Seating for Students Diagnosed with Autism!

My students need flexible seating for collaborative work. Many flexible seating options stimulate students’ sense of touch. This type of stimulation can help children focus and process information.

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

My classroom is especially designed for students with severe Autism Spectrum Disorder. Every student is different and requires individualized plans and accommodations to reach the highest level of success. My students rely heavily on visual aids to complete tasks throughout the school day.

My students are five- and six-year-old students who are on the autism spectrum, they enjoy learning and exploring.

They attend an offsite school that receives very few to no supplies. My students deserve the appropriate tools needed to help facilitate learning, despite their attending school in a high-poverty, high-crime neighborhood. Students with Autism often become discouraged when facing academic and physical barriers. In my classroom, I like to promote an "I can" environment, instead of an "I can't."

My Project

My K-2 students are very active learners. While I try to offer them many chances to move throughout the day, there are times where they need to be seated. Sitting still is very challenging for my busy kiddos. My students need cozy chairs that provide flexible classroom seating as well as a low to the ground table.

Research shows that there is a correlation between movement and the ability to learn.

Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. We need a round table that can be set at a lower level to for those that like working closer to the ground, and chairs that are adjustable to so that child can sit the way they feel comfortable. Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom. It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed.

Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. As one teacher said, “There is no better way to show your support for a student-centered classroom, than creating a classroom from a child’s point of view.” In her opinion, comfortable students are engaged students.
