The idea of flexible seating is becoming more commonplace each year. This is something that I know would benefit my middle school students who struggle in a regular classroom setting. Learning new academic skills can be difficult for students of any age, the demands placed on them are emotionally and physically exhausting. Flexible seating has the potential to ease some of that stress and allow them the discovery of how they learn best. By incorporating flexible seating students will have the opportunity to stand, use a floor workstation, utilize a wobbly chair, or use a regular desk. This gives them more ownership in their learning. After all, it is their classroom just as much as it is mine!
My current roster of students includes a wide range of students with disabilities. The resource classroom in which the flexible seating would be utilized consists of students with specific learning disabilities, speech-language impairments, autism, ADHD, and other health impairments. Many of these students come to my resource room looking for academic support with core classroom work. Flexible seating will allow us to set up the room in a group style format; they can work together in a casual and comfortable manner.
