Benefits to my students

Flexible seating will allow my students to have the sensory stimulation desired while completing educational tasks, it also gives students the freedom to choose how they learn, which can help them feel more engaged and empowered. 

 

Budget Narrative

Flexible seating options like bean bag chairs, wobble chairs, cube seats, and floor cushions allow these students to move in ways that help regulate their sensory input. This can lead to improved focus and attention by providing a controlled outlet for their sensory needs.
