e4usa Classroom Helps Student with Disabilities Return to Class!
e4usa teacher Michael Piccione and his students at Chantilly Academy (VA) worked together with the students in their Physical and Occupational Therapy (PT/OT) classroom to create a mobile, adjustable, and customizable medical bed. The bed will allow a local eight grade student, Liam Bruen, to return to school rather than continue receiving their current homebound instruction. Great work to this e4usa classroom!

"Brendan McCarthy’s class at College Park Academy is a shining example of how e4usa fosters inclusive design and practical problem-solving. The project not only provided a tangible solution for Stella but also instilled in the students a sense of purpose and accomplishment."
