The use of the bouncy bands, chair rollers and chair wobbles help students in a special education setting release some of the excess energy they have. The bands and rollers allow the students to bounce or move their feet while sitting at their desk and focusing on the lesson. So many of our students have so much excessive energy it is hard for them to focus on the lessons being taught. Our Special Education students already have so much challenging them that having these bands and balls will be extremely beneficial.
