With the addition of FitDesk bikes and Stability balls, Special Education students will be able to get the movement they need while increasing their intrinsic motivation to complete classroom assignments. Middle school students are sitting hunched over their chromebooks more than ever. What we have seen is an increase in negative student behavior. Sitting quietly for long periods of time is especially difficult for students with ADHD. Setting up the classroom with flexible seating options enables them to get the movement they need to help with memory, processing, motivation, comprehension, and focus as well as physical activity to stay healthy.
