Currently, students in my classroom do not have many choices for work location opportunities beside the work tables or on the floor. Being sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating students with Special Needs. Flexible seating allows students to feel more comfortable and relaxed while learning and making choices that work best for them. During independent work times I would love to provide opportunities for students to choose a flexible space they choose that works for them. I know that when students are provided with a choice in their seating, their engagement in academic activities increase. In general, students are noticeably more engaged in classwork and less interruptive and distractible when they are given a choice of where to work. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools and and the wobbleball chairs are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair at tables during instruction when needed. The comfy floor seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. I have seen how choice can positively impact students work and behavior and my hope is that the additional options will help my student improve academically and socially with a simple motivator like a special seat for the day.
