There is tremendous power in using wiggle seats, wobble cushions, or balance discs to help students with attention, staying seated, their core strength, and balance.
Students are more excited to come in and learn. They are able to remain focused on their work longer than in a regular chair, and they provide the movement that students need.
Though these balance cushions can benefit ALL students, they would especially benefit the students in my special education classroom who have a hard time staying focused for extended periods of time. While I incorporate movement and "brain breaks" as much as possible, it is nice to be able to have a different kind of seat that can also help with these wiggles while they are doing independent work.
