I am noticing that my students are uncomfortable while learning. Some are on the couch or bed and slouch and roll and fall asleep! Some of my students do not have access to a desk with a chair. I'm hoping that these physio balls will give them flexibility to wiggle a bit, help their posture, and help them focus. In 2003, a study was published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy concluding that in students with ADHD, sitting on therapy balls improved behavior and legible word productivity. In other words, students using ball chairs were able to sit still, focus, and write more words clearly. When a child sits on a ball chair, they are able to direct their natural kinesthetic energy and need for movement in a positive way, because the child on a ball chair has to constantly move his body on the chair to maintain his balance. So rather than squash a child's innate need for movement, ball chairs channel their physical energy in a positive way, allowing them to focus on their work more completely and reach their full potential as learners. Please consider helping my students have healthy wiggles!
