My Project

My goal for this project is to help the kids who can't sit still stay seated while working on their assignments. It will allow them to wiggle and move around while working. The sensory tiles will help the students that come to the Resource Room for a sensory break, by walking on the squishy tiles and discovering a sensory to help them relax so they will be able to go back to class and continue working. Allowing a student to move while working will help with reading, their stemming, along developing the lateral line in their bodies.
