My special needs students often have a hard time sitting still in a hard chair. These flexible seating options will help their sensory input while being engaged in learning! I do a lot of small group activities so these chairs will fit nicely at small group tables or even at a students desk. Making sure my students are comfortable is very important in their attitude towards learning. During independent work times my students often find their own spot in the classroom where they can lay on the floor, sit in a bean bag chair or hopefully on a yoga ball chair or wobble stool with your help!
