Supporting Our Wiggle Worms: Providing Sensory and Movement Support for Students with ADHD

Verified Non-Profit

The Description

With these funds I will create a loaning library of special chairs and fidget tools for our students who struggle with attention and focus.  Research shows that these students learn best when given the opportunity to move and stimulate their brain.  We have had great success with these students, many of whom have ADHD, by providing these accommodations.  I would create a loaning library of wobble seats and fidget tools for teachers to \"check out" in order to support some of these vulnerable learners.  These funds would allow teachers to better meet the needs of all of our learners.
