Flexible seating allows students to move and fidget in a way that's not distracting to the classroom learning environment. Many of my students have ADD or ADHD and some even autistim. Its hard for them to stay still, and sometimes that's just what we need them to do. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them choices. This flexible seating encourages kids to learn, adopt and practice a healthy posture while building core strength from active sitting. I am requesting wobble chairs, kick bands, stools, quick chairs and Balance Balls to help with their movements. This will increase blood flow to the brain, help to improve concentration and increase focus, reduce restlessness, and prevent boredom and distractions in class by keeping the body active and the mind engaged.
