I have a classroom full of rambunctious students who need movement in order to learn. As their teacher, I provide many opportunities for them to get up and move; however, I am unable to give enough movement opportunities to a several of my students. These students especially struggle with staying still throughout a lesson- many times they get out of their seat, becoming disruptive. Having stability balls would give my students with ADHD an outlet for their movement. Being able to stay seated and move will allow them to focus on the lesson and absorb the content I am teaching.
