These special ball seats allow for my special needs students to be able to wiggle out their energy while focusing. It has been proven that focusing on 2 things helps students that have difficulty with attention maintain focus longer. Having them balance on these balls while focusing on their school work helps them not only build their core strength, but create a dual purpose by building their learning strength as well.
I have already tried one of these type of seats and have been able to experience first-hand the benefits of it, so by allowing more than 1 student to gain from this type of seating would be wonderful! When students are more focused and engaged, learning is able to be at its prime.
