Concordia, Kansas –  Shaela Bergeson, Independent Living Specialist with OCCK, delivers flexible seating to third grade teacher Starla Balthazor with Concordia Elementary School.

Starla is an advocate in providing flexible seating in her classroom.  Starla said, “I have been working for a couple of years to build more flexible seating in my classroom.  I want my classroom to feel like an extension of home, and I know sitting in a desk all day can be too much for kids.  I want them to be comfortable while learning.”
