Students with special needs often struggle to stay focused in the classroom. This can lead to off task behavior and hinder their ability to concentrate on new material. When a child sits on a ball chair, they are able to direct their natural need for movement in a positive way. They have sensory needs and require movement to help them focus on the task at hand. Often these student will sit with their legs up or underneath them, tilt back, or leave their seats altogether. Chairs utilizing balance balls can increase their focus by allowing them the movement they need while remaining safely in their seats. Being in motion allows their brains to be engaged.
