Thanks to social networks lately we have seen how there are many teachers who go one step beyond just educating, doing it with dedication and with the heart. From that teacher who has a special greeting for each student in his class, such as those who have loaded and calmed the babies of their students so they should not withdraw from the class.
Small acts of love like these make us regain faith in the good intentions and goodness of other people. Now a teacher is news for having conditioned some chairs for her students with special needs.
Amy Maplethorpe is a speech pathology specialist and teacher at a school in Illinois. She had an ingenious idea: to create special chairs for her students with sensory needs.
The school where he works shared that picture of the teacher with the chairs he made, where he comments how they serve students with special needs:
Miss Mapplethorpe of our Department of Speech and Language, created these chairs for students with sensory needs. Thanks Miss Mapplethorpe. Sensory chairs are used with students who may have difficulty processing information about their senses and the world around them. The tennis balls on the seat and backrest provide an alternative texture to improve their sensory regulation. Students with autism, Down syndrome, sensory processing disorder, etc. You can benefit from this option of chairs.
They also include instructions at the end of the text so that parents or other teachers make their own chairs and can help other children.
The teacher says that some of her students have already benefited from the chairs. "The students have become more patients, follow directions and are less restless while waiting to do other activities", he commented in an interview for ABC News.
