As an Integrated Co-teaching class, one-third of my students have significant academic difficulties. My co-teacher and I try to teach the students that while we all are different and learn in unique ways, we are a family and we must be tolerant and understanding of one another. These chairs will allow these students to feel comfortable in their own space and provide a simple solution to their need for movement, regular chairs don't allow them to do that. Wobble chairs provide these students with the opportunity to move around while they learn, without feeling as though they are a distraction to other learners in the class.
