As I said previously, sensory integration is so important for everyone. My students just happen to require more input than others. Currently, I have a swing in my classroom, we use gum and weighted blankets, but that's not what works when we are sitting at our desks where the learning takes place. We need alternative seating for my students. I believe with these Gaiam Balance Ball Chairs the students in my self-contained middle school classroom will feel more at ease in the classroom, and that we will see a decrease in their frustration levels and less behavior issues. This is my goal and I only hope with your help we can make it happen.
