In my vibrant kindergarten class, I have some energetic students who grapple with ADHD and focus and find it challenging to remain seated and still! Alternate seating options provides an outlet for their boundless energy, keeping them engaged without resorting to disruptive behaviors like incessant chatter or wandering around the room.
By equipping my classroom with these seating options, I'm not only supporting students with ADHD but also fostering a culture of understanding and acceptance among all learners.
But it's more than just a a wiggle seat—it's a catalyst for inclusivity and compassion. It's a lesson in empathy, showing every child the importance of embracing differences and working together harmoniously.
This simple yet powerful adjustment has the potential to revolutionize the classroom dynamic, empowering these students to focus, participate, and excel both academically and socially. With alternative seating, my classroom becomes a sanctuary of productivity and unity, where every child can thrive.
