Students in my district are met with the obstacles of coming to schools with little supplies and live in a district where they are only provided pencils. Although the teachers give as much as possible, we are met with the inability to get supplies that really would make a difference in our students learning abilities.
About 30% of our students have some kind of diagnosed behavior disorder such as ADHD, and another 20% qualify for special education services.
I would love to be able to give these students sensory activities and other opportunities that would allow them the ability to focus better without the uses of medication; however, we cannot afford to provide them as to our budget constraints. I have tried things like jump ropes and bean bags and even have taped felt to the back of chairs and desks; however, many students still feel like they need to wiggle in their chair and sometimes even end up falling out of them.
Getting alternative seating for these students would allow them to fidget comfortably and safely while giving them the motion they so need to learn. Simple changes in their daily life such as getting a stability ball will increase student participation, learning, and decrease bad behaviors.
