We chose the seat ball chairs to add to our classroom because we LOVE our flexible seating. Using flexible seating has given the students a true stake in their learning. They are making choices for themselves and they are more focused on their work. Flexible seating fosters choices, physical health, comfort, community, collaboration and a commitment to learning. The students have more fun in the classroom when they are allowed to make choices for themselves. These options allow students a sensory stimulation which is very beneficial for students with ADHD, ADD and ASD. Finally, flexible seating allows the student to have fun while learning!!
