The growing number of problems caused by students being forced to sit for long periods of time causes many disturbances in the classroom. This is an issue that many of our students face on a daily basis, and that children of all different academic and functional levels deal with. It is especially prevalent for students with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). I believe that educators can alleviate some of these problems by incorporating active seating in our classrooms. Active seating can be any variety of non-traditional seating that allows students to move, wiggle and expend energy while they work. Students with ASD often have behavior problems that make it difficult for them to participate in the classroom. These problems occur more frequently when they are asked to engage in tasks that require them to stay seated and focused for long periods of time. Another student population that suffers from the repercussions of long periods of being seated are students with ADHD, who often have behaviors that interfere with classroom structures, such as difficulty paying attention, difficulty following rules, and staying persistent in completion of classroom tasks and assignments. Students in the general education population may also benefit from the use of active seating in the classroom. Research shows that the use of active seating may be effective in reducing office referrals and can lead to positive behaviors in the classroom and that students may also be more likely to participate in classroom activities and pay attention. This grant will allow me to give my students, as well as other students in our school, a variety of seating options that will help them to stay more actively engaged.
