Description
Student’s with exceptional needs require specific accommodations and modification in the educational environment in order for them to perform at the same level as their peers who do not have exceptional needs. Students who suffer from attention or processing disorders may benefit from accommodations like fidget balls. At the Georgia Southern STEM festival, I provided the public with information about the benefits of fidget balls and provided the unique chance for them to make their own. This service learning project allowed the public them to take home their own fidget ball as well as helped them to become more aware of the needs some student’s with exceptional needs require in order to be successful in an educational environment.
