Many of our students have decreased muscle tone or a constant need for movement-based sensory input that contributes to fidgeting, slouching or soreness, making it tough for them to engage in learning. Sitting while working on academic activities contributes to fatigue, decreased muscle tone and a lack of being able to focus.
Therapeutic seating will assist with creating healthier bodies for our students. The flexible seating corrects these problems by promoting slight movements and adjustments for the student while they sit. These movements keep the body more engaged, alleviating the negative effects of prolonged sitting. Other benefits include improved posture and muscle tone, sensory input and increased blood flow.
