It truly helps the ones that need movement to be able to focus and learn. They love the different options of seating. We have wobble stools, bouncy chair feet, and chair bands. I wish I would've been able to have things like this in school,I'm a leg Shaker, it would have helped me focus. Students are able to get movement in without disrupting class or their peers. They even trade out seating with each other so that they can try different things. It has help creat a stronger classroom culture in our room as well.
