Today in the regular classroom, there are a lot of students with increasingly demanding needs that to be met before deep learning can occur. It is difficult to meet these needs without help. Wobble cushions have been proved to allow for "active sitting," where the brain can be engaged and still allow for movement. This helps with children who have experience trauma, have Autism, ADHD, and need sensory input. There are two textures on it that allows for different levels of sensory input. I want a classroom set because all children need the opportunity to have stimulus. I believe all children can benefit from more movement. Too frequently children don't get enough movement during the day due to watching TV or electronics. In "Wobble Cushions: Benefit and ADHD" it states, "In 2003 a study was published in the American Journal of Occupation Therapy that found that in students with ADHD, sitting on therapy balls (swiss balls) improves behaviour and productivity. It was discovered that students using ball chairs were better able to sit still, focus and write more. Then in 2007 the Mayo Clinic in Rochester echoed these sentiments by finding that the ability to move around more while sitting made the students more attentive, the study believing this is due to kids being able to burn off excess energy by bouncing or moving."
