After researching the benefits of stability balls for distracted students, I became interested in incorporating stability balls in my classroom. Studies have shown that hyperactive students who have trouble focusing, improve attentiveness while sitting on the stability balls. The use of stability balls as an alternative to chairs will be motivation to concentrate in class. Stability balls also strengthen core muscles and improve posture. Students who use stability balls attend to tasks longer, which is especially good while taking state tests where students are required to sit for hours at a time. Your donations will be greatly appreciated by all!
