My students have many sensory needs and I think that flexible seating, more fidgets, and enough iPads for each student, will make them as successful as possible. Research shows that flexible seating has amazing benefits, which include burning excess energy, improving core strength, increased focus, and creating better oxygen flow to the brain. By creating a flexible classroom, I can boost performance, increase engagement and improve behavior. Allowing my students to choose the place where they will be the most successful, creates a warm and inviting learning environment. Allowing my students a way to channel their energy, will benefit every student in our learning space.
