We will be placing the balance ball chairs in our specialized classrooms, which includes our Life Skills, Applied Skills, Adaptive Behavior and SPEAK (Autism support) classrooms. We will also place one in the SPED student support office. Balance balls encourage posture and increase blood flow to the brain through movement.
