I am requesting items for my classroom that will enable me to implement flexible seating. Flexible seating has many benefits including choice, movement, and sensory input. Many flexible seating options stimulate students’ sense of touch. This type of stimulation can help children focus and process information. Sensory input is especially helpful for students with ADHD, ADD, and ASD. In addition, students become more invested in learning if they have choice and control of their environment. Finally, alternative seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.
