Help me give my students with ADHD an alternative to sitting at a desk during our 65-minute classes. Alternative seating provides them with flexibility and helps them with focusing on tasks.

Evidence suggests that standing desks can boost focus and productivity. Children using standing desks are often more engaged and less prone to distractions. This is particularly beneficial for kids with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as standing helps them expend excess energy productively.
The most touted benefit of standing desks is their health advantage.
A desk riser promotes better posture and reduces the risk of obesity and associated diseases. By using a standing desk, children can avoid the pitfalls of prolonged sitting, which include poor circulation and muscle degeneration.
Desk risers and desk raisers offer flexibility. Kids can adjust their desks to alternate between sitting and standing, promoting daily movement and variety. This adaptability is critical in creating a dynamic learning environment that caters to different activities and needs.
