We are requesting 4 wobble stools to aid in our students’ ability to maintain focus and stamina during small group intervention time in our classroom. Keeping a child’s attention can be difficult and doing so when a child has autism, ADHD, or some other learning difficulty can be even more challenging. Many of these students have a constant need for movement based sensory input that contributes to fidgeting and making it tough for them to engage in learning. Active sitting is based on the idea that too much sitting for long periods of time is not healthy for the body/mind. Too much sitting has been shown to lead to a lack of focusing ability. These stools keep the body engaged and alleviate the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
