PreK Disability is more than just learning about letters, shapes, and numbers. Another key thing we teach these young minds is how to perform self-regulation. Not all students are able to verbally express their needs when they are frustrated, while other students may have too much energy and are unable to control it. One way we can meet those needs is by giving them the choice for flexible seating. It might sound silly but allowing a child a source for movement in a constructive way, or just by giving them an option to decide what they need, can do wonders for their education and self-governance. Flexible seating provides numerous beneficial outlets for students. The following examples will give a better idea on why the need is high for students with disabilities. The first is that it gives the students a sense of choice or taking ownership over their learning environment. Even in students as young as 3-5, this small choice can be greatly beneficial. Another reasoning to offer flexible seating in the classroom is to provide the students an outlet for comfort. If they are tired, bored, frustrated, or hungry having these seats available encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused, and productive. Another resource that students with disabilities need to thrive in the classroom is a sensory outlet.   I could go on and on about all the benefits of flexible seating, so I will simply end it here and leave you with a final thought. These students are already faced with challenges beyond those of average student. They can achieve as much as their peers in other classrooms, however they need our help. I hope the reasons I have expressed above are sufficient to motivate you to improve their learning environment as much as possible.
