My Project

I am a Special Education Teacher and Basketball Coach at a middle school. I teach severe profound students who are in wheelchairs and need adaptive equipment and tactile learning materials to access the classroom. The beanbag seat will help my students reach goals such as tolerating various positions in the classroom. All of my students have limited to no vision so the tactile numbers can be used to identify numbers by feel and to work on fine motor skills like grasping objects. I also coach the basketball team and our players do not have their own water bottles which I feel would be very useful during flu season. My players are very hungry before and after practice and I just want them to have a snack while waiting for our games which start late in the evening or waiting to be picked up after practice.
