For years, students have been admonished for not sitting still while they are working; however, where are you most comfortable and effective when working? Research supports that both moderate exercise before learning and smaller movements during learning such as wiggling help students focus and improve retention. This movement is connected to our learning brain. The student's attention system almost immediately improves while the impulses and fidgeting decrease. A feeling of "I can't do it" and the accompanying anxiety decrease when students are given opportunities to select seating that enables them to move. The wobble chairs have the versatility of being used at the teacher table or at another desk or table. The stability disks have the flexibility of being used in their regular chairs, while seated on the floor, and at their feet when they select to stand at a counter height work space.
