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

Hi, My name is Ms. Curto, and I am a special education teacher working with special needs first-graders and kindergarteners. My students have a variety of disabilities that include developmental delays, learning disabilities, autism, and other health impairments. My students are sweet, enthusiastic learners who need the opportunity to learn.

HELP!

I need individualized flexible seating that will engage my animated - energetic special needs students and help them stay focused. Flexible seating helps kids to increase attention and focus for hyperactive kids. Unfortunately, my students will be sitting at their desks for an extended amount of time so the wiggle board will help get their wiggles out.

My Project

HELP! I need flexible seating materials that will engage my animated - energetic special needs students and help them stay focused – materials that spark their curiosity and help them nurture their emerging self-confidence.

Wobble seats are a fun exercise tool for children.

It can be used as a kids' wiggle seat to increased attention and focus for hyperactive kids. Stability wobble cushion for kids can also use it as a balance cushion to help relax the body, improve balance, promote core stability, and as physical therapy. Thank you so much for your help!!
